Either the beach in late afternoon or paddling through Grayton State park!

I enjoy walking around Seaside after dinner then unfolding our blankets on beautiful Amphitheatre grass and watching a movie on a star lit summer night. Now that the kiddos are of age, Mr. 635 and I will meet them at Bud and Alley's for a drink overlooking the beach. Fabulous! We also enjoy riding our bikes to Grayton in the morning.

Riding a bike in the morning or the beach at night.

Walking from Eastern Lake to Deer Lake State Park along the beach is the best. Usually on the way back, I feel the bliss level rising. I call it Blessings Beach. In the summer, dawn walks are coolest. In the winter I feel best when surrounded with deer lichen in the woods.

I've discovered that walking down the shore line is the easiest way to unwind. It's amazing how far you can walk. Watching the waves crash quickly and race inland or fight themselves into submission. Noticing how the sand goes from a soft snow like consistency that crunches under your feet to a hard almost concrete like surface. The dunes standing like fortress walls ocassionally broken by a long forgotten hurricane. The birds running in the surf like little children.

Then if I'm still stressed I'll go out during the day and repeat.
