Final Journey of the Summer season

Due to my break day work this previous spring, it stored me from making my annual pilgrimage to Tennessee. So, as a substitute I made a decision to do a few weekend journeys. The primary as you understand was to see good buddies in Smith Mountain Lake. The second, was this previous weekend to see ‘retired Navy brother’ and his household in Chesapeake Virginia. It was a enjoyable go to and so good to see everybody and catch up.

Usually, I am not a seaside individual. It had been about 5 years since I used to be on the seaside however I used to be reminded that like Tennessee, it is peaceable in its personal methods. 

The overcast skies and the specter of rain minimize down on the quantity of those that have been on the seaside. I feel that made it a bit extra enjoyable to not have the crowds which can be there this time of 12 months.

However for this non-beach lover, I’ve to say that I actually did benefit from the sounds of the waves, the scent of the salty sea air, the texture the nice and cozy ocean and clean sand beneath my toes as we walked alongside the shore. And I loved watching the sea-birds too. 

We took a bit time to take a seat and people-watch on the boardwalk, which within the quick time we have been there we realized it affords an eye-full of issues to look at, and that is all I will say about that. 😎

We additionally actually cherished the view from our lodge room, and seeing fishing boats and cargo ships off within the distance as evening fell. 

Weekend journeys have a approach of ending a lot too rapidly. However it’s at all times good to be residence, as a result of I at all times miss the canines after I go away.
