I like

I like out-of-the-blue drives to the shore.


I like getting a glimpse as to how big our world is.

I like to try to jump over waves.


I like being the only ones there.






I like little kids in sunglasses.




I like sandy feet(and everything else!)


I like sunshine that comes and goes.



I like the smell of sunscreen, bonfires and BBQ.



I like birthday cakes made by kids covered with all their favorite candies.


I like spending time with family, talking into the wee hours about nothing and everything around a BIG fire.
I like little kids who do their best to stay awake with the adults. And then need their sleepy bodies carried to the car and then to their beds once home.


I like long summer days.
I like being able to escape into air conditioning when it gets to be too much.
I like sleeping with a fan blowing on me all night.

I like to see the storms roll in. But not so much when sitting on the pier with Jason, when after seeing a lightning strike, you hair begins to stand up on end from all the electricity in the air. Yikes.

I like spending a rare day alone with with Jason, wandering about.
I like that he's willing to try new things with me like Ahi Tuna. When I met this man, he charred the life out of everything he ate.
I like old friends that once back together again, its like no time has past.


I like gangley little girls who swim until their eyes get puffy and red.



I like my crazy fun-lovin Dad.




I like seeing my my extended family and never want days like that to end. They are far and too few between.



I like fun-filled, action packed, easy-going lovely summer weekends.
