I love days that aren't exactly planned but just unfold naturally into a great day surpassing any expectations. A couple of weekends ago rain was predicted on Sunday. We talked about ordering a pizza lunch and eating it at my Dad's condo. For most of the winter it has been too cold and windy to enjoy the beach. However, the rain arrived early over the night and the clouds broke by Sunday morning. The temperatures rose 20 degrees above what they have been and the wind tempered to a soft breeze.
So, we decided to meet my Dad at the pier. It is fun to walk the pier and watch the fishermen from above, the surfers down below and search for glimpse of sea life. Afterwards, we went onto the beach. The boys feet splashed drenching their pants with saltwater and their air with joyful giggles. We returned to the condo for a pizza lunch and finished the day with grilled hotdogs and basketball back at our house.
