I grab a Scooby snack for breakfast and some Cranergy and get all sunscreened and suited up again and off I go to the beach with my towels, book, sunscreen, camera and room key.
I get really close to the water coming in thinking it is going out soon-oops got me! So I move back a bit. There were two ladies most likely in thier late 60's sitting in the short lawn chairs and drinking Miller lite at 9:30AM-I love it!! They were having a time. At this time of the morning there were just a few of us out there lolling about and the occasional runner/walker that came by. Everyone was friendly. I am always amazed at the people lolling about the POOL in front of the beach-REALLY? You have a whole freaking ocean people. I read a little, took a dip, took some photos, read some more, people watched. The later it got the more people started showing up. Still was never crowded at all-LOVE OFF SEASON!
I decided to sit the hottest part of the day out and went in search for Lunch! John had invited me to Heidi's for lunch but I wanted to stay near the beach and have an adventure. One of the Jaycees told me about a place called the Cracked Egg and so I looked it up and it was walking distance from the hotel. Off I went around 12:30ish to the Cracked Egg for Brunch. I looked so like a tourist.
This place is like a 50's style dinner owned by 2 brothers and occasionally thier parents help out. They are only open for Breakfast and Lunch. I was so excited to see fried bologna sandwich on the menu-my MoMo use to make those for me! It had a pepper jack cheese and grilled jalapenos added to it and it was devine! Throw some fried pickles in there and I am in Southern Fried Heaven! The waitstaff was very attentative, the food was great and the atmosphere was family fun. There is a big BLUE chick painted on the door! I saw the twin to the Professor that played in the Frankie and Annette movies eating in there too. So very Beach Blanket Bingo! I was waiting for Von Zipper to crash his motorcycle in!
I walk across to the beach and made my way down to the hotel on the beach side taking photos on the way of course.
I went back to the room until it cools off a bit with the intentions of napping. Bewitched was on and then Legally Blonde, so I just lolled about and watched TV.
Went back out around 3:30ish and set up closer to the hotel wall as they have opened the lanes of vehicle traffic now and I didn't want to be squished. I swear I could sit and stare into the ocean for hours and just listen to the waves and the birds. Very mesmerizing. Someone had a radio playing, a family with kids were building sandcastles and giggling, a couple were frolicking in the water and I observed.
John asked me if I wanted to come to Heidi's and play in the pool and eat dinner-Nah, I am just fine right here in the sand. Just me and Mother Nature. I read some more, sunned, splashed and repeated.
Just before sunset I went across the street to Subway to get a meatball sandwich, it sounded good, and it was close. I wanted to be back before the sun set. Well there was a kid working alone at Subway and one man in front of me in line, I MISSED THE SUNSET! Seriously?! That kid no more wanted to be there than anything and he shouldn't have been. Got my sub went back to the room and ate out on the balcony, all of a sudden there was a firework show!! BONUS! John asked me again if I wanted to join them, I am like I am eating and drinking on the balcony watching a firework show-what you got to offer? LOL!
I took my beverage and camera and went to take pictures of the moon on the water and just chill. My camera has settings i have never used before so I played with a few taking photos of the moon and ocean.
