Ahhh, the beach...
I love the beach. I wish I could afford to perpetually be on vacation.

Aside from the threat of pirates, how amazing would that be? Waves crashing on the sand, sun shining, cool tropical breezes blowing, living life with the windows open. Oh man, I could handle that. However, my recent trip to the beach was not quite the paradise I had envisioned. It was rainy and cold and cloudy. I was mostly okay with the temperature - heat and I do not get along so well - but I was sad for my niece, that the weather wasn't a little nicer for her first experience with "the beach". Paris and I decided to tag along with my parents for their anniversary trip to Myrtle Beach, SC. They went a few years ago and the weather was beautiful then. Not so much, this time around.
