I Wanna Soak Up The Sun!!

I love long days at the beach that feel so adventurous even if you are just laying down, reading a good book. It's something out of the ordinary, and it gives you a new sense of thrill. I love eating sandwiches that taste like salt water, sunscreen, and no matter how hard you try to keep it from getting sandy, the feel of the sand grinding between your teeth with each bite that you take. There is something different about coming to the beach in the middle of August. Instead of waking up, looking out the window and seeing thousands of eager city folks looking to get some sun, you see people enjoying themselves without the rush of summer traffic flow. You see abandoned shovels and buckets, washed up sunglasses, and young children swimming in the shallow waves for the first time. There is no need for the time of day. You have no where to be, you can enjoy every moment, and you can soak up every one of the sun's rays without having to share. It brings a new sense of wonder and peace into a persons mind, and I think I can get used to it pretty quickly.
