Our own island

We went camping last weekend.
It was a mix of sun and drizzle for most of the time.
It was also the first time my husband and I had ever been camping together..
finally I had convinced him to go!
What a nice change of scenery it was, though only a hop, skip and a jump from our home.
We put our new tent up, which ended up taking three people..and a included a few.."Just forget it...I am sleeping in the truck!" phrases..But we did it!
Next time will be a piece of cake, right??
The beach at the campsite was flooded, leaving little islands of sand here and there.
We dragged our beachwear and coolers through the swampy areas to reach our own little piece of paradise. And paradise it was..
An excuse to just stand around all day and watch the waves..to sit with my toes in the soggy sand and watch
boats going by, while our friend's children ran giggling and screaming through the sand and water.
Just what I needed..to have absolutely nowhere to go..
and nothing to do.
