Nerds on the Beach


(this was my beach book)

This is how I like to vacation: comfortable bed, seeing nature without being in it, good food, quiet reading time, beach, and (beating everyone in) Bananagrams.  Being with my old H'Bomb friends this weekend, this was exactly how we rolled.  We got to the beach at a reasonable hour.  Applied sunscreen.  Joked around as we ate our lunches.  Then we all took out our respective books/Kindles for a couple of hours of quiet reading/napping.  This was followed by swimming, sunscreen reapplication, more lounging, and going home at another reasonable hour.  The only fuss to the whole weekend was when we tried to hunt down an ice cream shop I had recommended via Jenny.  Though we got lost a couple of times in search of it, the Cranberry Bog (craisins, dark chocolate chunks, walnut, and cranberry ice cream- aka genius) and well-constructed waffle cones were well worth the effort.  Skydiving will have to wait until next year.

(but Laura totally showed me up with hers)
