My friends in the southeast regale me with tales of how terrible the heat is there, especially in the summer. But then in the middle of all the whining, sometimes they remember to mention THE OCEAN. One of them is only about an hour and a half from the Atlantic Ocean! She can gather her friends and kids up and take off for a weekend at the beach whenever she feels like it.
Of course, for those who don't want to make even that long a drive for their ocean get-away, they can choose from several Hilton Head rentals. If I ever do that, not that I can afford it, it will be so incredible! Looking out from the balcony at the ocean, having my own path to the beach, the kids building sand castles that they can come back to the next day, basking in the sun while listening to the waves.
Hmmmph. I just walked over to the window while I was daydreaming about this - snow everywhere! The snow is fine, wonderful, and all that, but my mind had conjured up warm, sun-soaked beach...it was kind of a jolt!
