We went to the beach today, which is a labor day tradition from Katie\u2019s youth. It was nice and warm, except the water, which was very cold.<\/p>\n
The beaches around here and of the Pacific Northwest are all cold. It\u2019s a weird mindset, but something that Katie grew up with. Beaches have cold water for her since her childhood.<\/p>\n
For me, beaches are about swimming in the water \u2013 a leftover from growing up on the east coast and my trip to Hawaii when I was pretty young. Out here in the west, beaches are more about fun in the sand, charming beachfront towns, and wading into the water. It\u2019s a different kind of beach, but just as enjoyable.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s strange, when my jeans are rolled up and the waves bring the waterline in and the water touches me feet. When it\u2019s so cold<\/em> compared to what I expect. It\u2019s something I still haven\u2019t quite got used to.<\/p>\n I would still like to learn how to surf someday, though, and there\u2019s a much greater chance that that\u2019ll actually happen out here in California.<\/p>\n I hope all of your Labor Days were as relaxing and fun. Now I\u2019m off to either order a PS3, watch more Gossip Girl or The Office, collapse in bed, or poop.<\/p>\n Maybe all of the above!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We went to the beach today, which is a labor day tradition from Katie\u2019s youth.
