Going Coastal

This weekend we took a long overdue trip to the coast.  We've lived here for three-quarters of a year and haven't seen the ocean since we arrived.

This wasn't exactly a planned trip.  Some of my best trips aren't.  Although, I do kind of wish I'd not planned this trip a little earlier.  We departed for the coast on Saturday evening and arrived at midnight.

First thing the next morning...we had to get a flat tire fixed.  But next thing, we headed to the beach and got our toes in the water...don't finish that thought.  It was pretty chilly that day (we've acclimated) and Cody didn't bring a coat.  Well, we didn't bring anything.  We purchased toothpaste and clean underwear when we reached our destination.

And then, fourteen hours following our arrival, after spending a grand total of a half hour on the beach, a few hours exploring the downtown area, and running into a person we'd met in Charlotte once, we turned around and went home.
