Took a much needed day away from as much as possible. Burned off for a local beach along the Gulf of Mexico with my two tweenagers. Not much surf to speak of today but i don't surf anymore, so not that much of a deal. Found a nice flat spot, we brought out boogie boards, a wood skimboard and a Zap board and just goofed off in less than 2" of water almost all day. Didn't go out much past the knees/mid thigh though. Calmer days like today the sharks come closer to shore and we are multiple miles from city proper here. Built sand castles, dug holes, watched minnows in the foreshore, saw redfish swimming in the breakers, cleaned up some flotsam, ate a picnic lunch under a sun shade ..
All around just a great day and I'm thankful for it.
