What would you do if you had 1 day in SoWal?

[croixbum]

I know yall are going to think that my agenda seems boring but I am going to post it anyway, we are on 30A 2 or 3 weeks out of the year but here it is. Up at 5, make coffee, pack up fishing buggy, surf fish until about 10, go upstairs eat breakfast, back to fishing until 1, eat quick lunch, take short bike ride, go to Yellowfin to get bait, back to beach to fish until 5, quick shower, off to eat nice dinner, back to beach by 8, fish couple of hours. Believe it or not this is my dream day, of course I work in some time to walk to Eastern Lake Inlet with grandson. On occasion my day is ruined by having to make a quick shopping trip.

1. cup of coffee at the beach

Two must do things for me, even when I'm in town for only a day, are a walk to Deer Lake State Park and sunset on the beach. I like to take short drives (or bike rides when it is warm enough) through Rosemary, WaterColor and Seaside as well, but if I am pressed for time, Deer Lake wins everytime.

Ahhhhhh, I'm closest to this one. I'd have a cup of coffee/tea and maybe a scone or donut at the beach early with a good book (and someone I love or a good friend or by myself). Afternoon nap definitely (not necessarily alone). Watch the sunset on the beach with a nice cold drink or a glass of wine. Back home with my love and/or lovely children. I'd eat lunch and/or dinner out - oyster po'boy somewhere. And gratitude all day long. And I'd take a few photos not only of the beautiful scenery but of the people I'm with.

Oh, and watch the stars come out one by one at night (on the beach or on a boat). Last summer, a friend of mine and I, and our two daughters who have known each other since they were 4 years old (and are now 17 and will be off to college next fall)), laid down on a blanket on the beach in SoWal after sunset and watched the stars come out one by one. While the 4 of us were laying on the blanket watching the stars come out, we sang the songs we sang to our girls when they were babies. The girls loved it as much as we did, though I think my friend and I were the only ones who got teary-eyed. Then we all took turns singing songs about stars. It was an amazing evening - it just happened and couldn't have been planned.

Brush teeth, hair in pony tail, put on bathing suit and shorts, apply sunscreen.
Ride bike to Fabrice with loved one(s) of choice.
Get black coffee, order every pastry they have and eat every last one.
Go directly to beach and stay put, making trips back only for provisions: beer, orange wedges and Cheez-its or Bugles.
Shower, make a pot of coffee, get a barbecue going by the pool.
Walk back to beach for Sunset with glass of champagne.
Take a loooong walk with chosen loved one(s).


Holy Crapola, I have to get busy finding a rental! Summer is right around the corner, up the road, make a right and go three houses to the left

Definitely - the almond croissant at Fabrice...
