Beach Day 6 (Dad and Nat vs. the BIKES)



Greetings from the beach DAY 6!! No traumatic events thus far... although dad and I did have an encounter with the bikes the other day... POINT OF NOTE: Bicycles do NOT ride well in sand.
It was a real event. Had to drag these old geriatric bikes up and down the stairs from the car port to the beach.. then dad's chain came off his gears, so there we were, not 2 houses down from where we started and dad flips the bike over and starts trying to fix it... bike mechanic that he is.. people walking by, lounging on their porches,.. all looking at the spectacle "beach bike mechanic and side kick." needless to say, he never fixed the bike completely and we ended up trying to ride on an actual concrete road before his bike broke again and we gave up for good. hahaha! something so simple can turn into such a fiasco... (is that how you spell fiasco??)

Reporting from the Beach

The high today was a comfortable 80 degrees. Scattered clouds cleared up toward the afternoon. All in all a beautiful day for the beach. Meteorologist Nat here! hahaha:)
BTW beach houses beat the socks off condo's, hotels, etc. Took a walk on the beach tonight w/my momma.. It's sooo nice here! Plan on swiping some shells to bring back this time- I don't think the beach will mind..
