I'm sitting out on our balcony looking out at the beach. It really is beautiful and peaceful. From far away of course. As soon as I step onto it I feel completely gross, but it's always worth a shot.
This morning I was sitting under the umbrella down by the water reading Nights In Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks, imagining how it would feel to finally get to walk along the North Carolina coast with the man I love when all of a sudden out of no where two dolphins started playing in the water in front of us. It was so amazing. Of course I've pet dolphins at Sea World, but to actually see them not in captivity, but in their natural habitat was just plain cool.
I've always imagined a place like this to be romantic. A place you would go with the person you truly care about. But the people I'm here with use it as a place to get away from the men in their lives. If only I had a man in my life to get away from. Ha.
It would be nice to come out here with a few of my friends that share my same outlook on the beach.
Just driving around out here you feel footloose and fancy free, like there's no care in the world. No place to be, no one to please. Just yourself of course. And that's what we're all doing. Making ourselves happy. Kelsey and Becca love the beach, that's where they are, sitting on the beach in the sun. I love to relax and blog and watch Sex and the City and read, so that's where I am, away from the water in the shade. And the women, well they like to do a little bit of everything, and they do it. With their drinks in hand. :)
Well this sea water air is making my eyes water, so I'm going to escape back into my bedroom to read a novel and imagine myself to be Carrie Bradshaw, away from my lover on a tropical getaway.
