My friend M and I were supposed to go to the Orange County Fair today, but we didn't realize that the fair would be closed on Mondays. Boy were we disappointed, but we just decided to go to the beach instead. Why waste a beautiful day staying inside? Besides, we had already lathered ourselves with large quantities of sunblock.
I love the beach. It's my happy place. I just love the peace it gives me by just being there. I don't really even go into the water anymore (I used to when I was younger), but just standing on the sand and smelling the ocean makes me feel content.
As we walked around the beach, we decided that we really wanted to go for a bike ride. I don't know why we felt the need to bike at the beach, but for some reason we had to do it at that moment. It was fairly cheap, and maybe we felt the need to exercise when we saw how in shape everyone else was.
The ride was amazing. It was nice to ride by the shore, and feel the nice breeze against my face. I got a nice workout, and it actually felt really good. It felt good to be outside, and doing something.
After the bike ride, we spent our time dipping our feet in the water. The water was refreshing (even though I go wet many times as the large waves would unexpectedly crash into me) and cool.
It was a lot fun. I think I want to do this all the time. Maybe next time to prevent myself from having to rent a bike; I could just take the bus (with my bike) to the beach. My car is much to small to carry a bike, and it would be an adventure in itself to take the bus.
