OK, so maybe the title isn’t the most accurate. How about a Sunday afternoon at the beach?
After our third garage sale of the summer (Saturday), Andi and I decided to take a leisurely drive out to Whidbey for a quiet Sunday afternoon mini vacation.
We had a nice breakfast consisting of gluten free pancakes with homemade blueberry syrup and left home about an hour before noon.
Our favorite beach is due West of Oak Harbor, a nice little public alcove divided by waterfront properties about a quarter mile from Andi’s grandma’s place. We took a nice stroll about half a mile down the north end before deciding to explore a little more of Whidbey.
The exploration wasn’t successful, but it was far from a failure. We entered Coupville and stopped at a little thrift shop to hunt for cheap books to read and hit the jackpot.
For Andi, I located The Dirt On Clean: An Unsanitized History and for myself I snapped up Deluxe: How Luxury Lost its Luster.
After successfully locating reading material, we made our way back to our original spot, this time parking on the south end, backing in so we could enjoy the sound of the waves from the Versa’s trunk and shade ourselves from the 80-degree heat and blaring sun.
The Versa proved to be fairly comfortable. Andi took the upper section perching herself atop and reclining on the rear folded-down seats. I lounged on the trunk floor. Here we sat for a few hours or so, enjoying the sound of the waves, the seagulls soaring overhead, and each other’s company.
I think we found our new favorite pastime.
