That’s what we’re getting a lot of lately: beach experience.  It’s quite fun and amazing, actually, to enjoy this beautiful place with so many other people.  There are large crowds at some beaches and yet we all seem to have our own space, because really there is plenty of room for everyone.  We are learning about what to bring, how to pack, and mainly the art of chilling for hours in this place.  Beaching (as I call it) is like camping, I’ve realized– a mind-slowing, relaxing way of just “being” in nature and all it has to offer.  We’ve spent many days here of late and, after a day at the beach, we find we have a nice, easy, slow feeling for the rest of the day.  It really is very good all around.  I’m thankful our family has the opportunity to have a Florida beach experience.
