a day at the beach

with jeremy out of town, corey and i decided it was the perfect weekend for playing hookey, and we headed to rehoboth beach, despite a forecast of 59 degrees.

the three hour drive went swiftly, and we stopped for an excellent mexican lunch before making our way to the beach. with chair and beach blanket in hand, we fought the wind and cool temps with bravado and near disregard, but before long, we gave up our courageous pretense and packed it in.

the truth of the matter is that i just needed to hear the ocean and smell the salt. i've been craving it for some time, and with the duck beach trip still a month away, i knew i couldn't wait. i had almost talked myself out of it when i casually mentioned it to corey, who quickly talked me back into it. and well, he agreed to drive.

at any rate, even though our sand time was short, we spent the rest of the day gawking at kitsch, chowing down on a few bites of funnel cake before beginning to feel nautious, and scoring big at the outlets. well, corey scored big, i just got my heart broken by a store known as 'coach'.

we ended up enjoying a long day at the beach, and getting the much needed escape we both needed. and the advantage of the weather conditions is that we are able to be much more patient in our wait for the 'real' beach trip.

Thanks for the great diversion. It was deeply needed - for both of us!
