Love your post's title. I didn't get to the beach at all this summer, and that's just wrong. I'm with knitseashore--nothing beats long sunny days, sandals, and waves!

[Image]{Misquamicut Seagull No. 4, originally uploaded by robinsegg0523} Oh Summer, why must you be over? You came so late this year, and went by too quickly. I feel I had only a few weeks to enjoy your sunny skies, your pleasant breezes, your sweltering days that make me appreciate your cool nights all the more… This Saturday The BF and I enjoyed what is likely the last* “beach day” of the summer. Under blue skies and with a soundtrack of crashing waves, we sunned ourselves, read magazines, swam in the ocean, sat under an umbrella and enjoyed lunch and cold beers with an old friend of mine. I grew up on Long Island Sound, but there is nothing like a real ocean beach, with big waves and soft sand, a thousand colorful umbrellas scattered like Easter eggs on the shore. Yes, I have a bathing suit full of sand and seaweed, I got stung by a jellyfish and there is a line at the bathhouse, but I like to walk to the water’s edge and look out at the sea and appreciate that I am standing on the edge of a continent.

Sad to say that I didn't have one beach day. I had a pond day...

Being 3 minutes from the beach is the ONLY thing I miss about New Zealand.

Aaaah... I'm sure it is nothing you said. It will return! I'm looking forward to Fall... or for us a cooler summer extension... LOL!

My beach day is coming in a few weeks. I think it will technically be fall. You are right, this summer went by quick.

I weep with you. I had one or two beach days, but it is never enough. This summer seemed shorter than ever since we had a late start.
All that fall talk doesn't fool me one bit -- nothing beats long sunny days, sandals, and waves!
