Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Don't like sand or sand fleas. Burn like crazy in the sun. Love to swim in the ocean but tend to get nibbled with my big WHITE legs. The Atlantic is so nasty that you can't see your feet. I'd go to the Bahamas to the beach. I'm a mountain person myself. West Va., Va., the Rockies, Hawaii, all great mountains. North GA has some great ones too. Elaine Beached! Hi, I have no idea why anyone would go anywhere else besides the beach for a vaca. We just got back from delaware- dewey and rohoboth beaches. it was awesome! we stayed a 1/2 block away from the beach. the waves were a little rough, but i managed to brave them and got in. my son jesse was boogie boarding, body surfing and skim boarding. My husband ralph, thinks he can body surf and scraped his head, belly, legs and arms in the process. I had a lot of sea food and dinner at jakes- an early bd dinner for amanda. we all cried today when we had to leave.... now about amanda- well we were there with our friends- my friend, her husband and their just turned15 year old daughter who is also amanda's 'friend'. well amanda's friend met some cute guys- the jesses (believe it or not, they were both named jesse). they were very sweet toward amanda- telling her she was cute and wishing her a happy birthday. she was very struck by them - but she couldnt hang out with them and her friend sorta desserted her for them. it just is so sad to see that amanda is very typically a teen and wants to be like everyone else, but she just cant- its so hard to see where and how she fits in.... ~ mom to amanda DS- the very soon to be 14 year old and jesse, 10 Click reply to all for messages to go to the list.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Tim and I are trying to fit in a weekend at Dewey/Rehobeth. I love the ocean - but that is not a beach I would swim in - the carolina beaches are more my pick! The last time we went there, we met up with another couple from this list and had a memorable dinner at Coconuts (memorable b/c tim picked up the tab for 12 people and it was only 120.00 and several of us had lobster dinners!) Elaine - I'm getting my mountain fix in 2 weeks - we are headed home for Labor Day weekend - my first trip home since 1/2003!

Lugging a ton of stuff we don't even use....trying to keep one hand on Nic to stop him from running full speed into the ocean.....trying to get the sand out of our lunch because Nic likes to throw it....then Bob and I playing tag-team to keep Nic under surveillance at all times.... Sitting on the beach ??? Who sits? lol Di Re: Beached! NO NO NO you all are missing the big picture lol think, sitting on the beach, at sunrise and only hear the sound of the waves coming in. Sara is usually sitting at my side asking me how big this water is? or something similar in depth.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Oh Kathy - you hit the nail on the head. The beach is the place for me also. I have a friend that feels the same way about the mountains as I do for the beach. A nurse at work that grew up on a farm in Iowa feels the same way about the fields on her parents farm. I do have to say that is one of the nice things about living here, so close to the beach. Sometimes I will drop the kids off at school and go walking on the beach. Can't tell the girls that though, they would have a hissy to think I went without them! When is Sara's BD? Our girls will both be official teenagers soon!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Last year I was at a conference in Virginia Beach. Tim came down the next evening and brought . I took out on the beach and off he went. I'm running like a wild woman to catch up with him and finally did! does enjoy the sensory stuff from the waves. prefers the pool - but he will ask to go to the beach 1-2 a day for short periods. Elaine - Myrtle's water is sometimes so clear - I've never seen it dirty, just not as clear at times. Miami and the keys are beautiful - very clear (and Tim was looking at the topless bathers and not the water!) and Virginia's ocean water is darker - but clean (last time I went). I could be at the beach winter, spring, summer and fall - there is something so soothing about the waves. The last time we were at Rehobeth, we dug a hole and put in it...lol. When we dug him up, he wanted to be put back in. The other listmember who was with us had to eat sand covered hotdogs from his child's play! > > Lugging a ton of stuff we don't even use....trying to keep one hand on Nic to stop him from running full speed into the ocean.....trying to get the sand out of our lunch because Nic likes to throw it....then Bob and I playing tag-team to keep Nic under surveillance at all times.... > > Sitting on the beach ???

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 I love the beach- always have. but this year i think i really enjoyed it more cause the kids are on their sorta own. jesse swims from the moment we get there till we leave and amanda does her own thing- listens to her cd player, reads, sleeps, walks. and what does one have a 10 year old son for if not to carry all the stuff to and from the beach? so many of my friends came to 'my' beach in coney island- it was really fun to have friends for us, amanda and jesse too. I will be at the beach as long as the weather is nice thru september. I am really milking it this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
