first let me say that I have been thinking on this beach trip for sometime but I could never bring myself to plan it out fully. I often feel that beach trips should be spontaneous. Due to my lack of planing no one went with me, which is just fine my me.

I leave at 2:30pm. I had been waiting for Jordan until 1:20, but he was no up for it since I could not get more people. I waxed and waned on the idea until 2:30, when I got enough inspiration from Facebook to set off. I drove for a long time, like 1 hour 45 minutes. I get to my favorite free beach set up my chair and apply sunscreen. I read for a while to let the sunscreen absorb.

The water was cold and the sun was hidden, swimming was not in the cards. I waded up to mid calf in the 70 degree water. then I read until the rain was imminent. It became heavier as I reached the car. my total time at the beach was less than the drive one way.

I did call upon my brothers home on my way back. He treated me to dinner when I took him to get Subway I witnessed a rainbow. after dinner we played Scurvy Pirates of the Spanish Main. it is a card game where you use the cards to make the movie with the most points. My brother started strong with a large cast of men. Michelle had a modest cast of women. None of us had a setting or much in the way of props. Lewis continued to dominate until I got one good attack in on him. At this point Michelle gained much power and surpassed him. I was more or less out for the count so I took it upon myself to make the battle as even as possible. I delivered a devastating attack of Ghost sailors on a Phantom vessel (combo bonus) and then I tripled it with a card called a tropical island greeting. Michelle had a card to block this attack but I had another to preempt that card. so I defeated her greatest character. this set her and my brother at the same total. Lewis won with a deftly played hand two turns later. Michelle had a card that could have stopped him but she did not play it in time.

after this game ended I returned home and meet up with Jordan. So concludes my summer break.
