Beach Escapade Essay

Superior Essays
I've been thinking about the beach, waters and the sands for weeks now realizing I haven't even shared our Canyon Cove getaway yet. It is something that is worth sharing for and I can't believe I almost forget to blog about it. So without further adieu, here is the story of our first long drive (just the three of us) and beach escapade. The best part is, it was well an unplanned trip.

January was supposed to be a month for our barkada (college friends) outing. Our personal belongings were all packed for an overnight trip but something came it didn't push through. But since it's too late to cancel my leave and with the expecting daughter (the one who were super excited about the supposed trip) my husband suggested that we go on with our beach

We end up going on and off the pool and the beach swimming, taking selfies (yes selfies included haha, above and under waters) taking pictures of the scenery, having fun at the sands, finding corals and NEMO (we found a school of fishes nearby, on a 5 feet deep ocean waters) and making the most in kayaking until sunset. Here are some of our activity photos that day.

I am too slow to take pictures of them, I only catch one.

Corals, do not step on it nor destroy it.

Time check it's almost 4 in the afternoon but we're still having fun relaxing on the pool as well.

We spent most of our time in the waters as were really having fun. The sun, the wind and waters are all warm keeping us relax the whole time.

Mid afternoon shots of the blue skies. Summer...ry shot
But one of my best memorable moment on the whole trip was during sunset. It was a moment I made so many realizations. I felt a connection with the nature and repeatedly telling myself of how great God creations are and just be grateful for..... for the gift of family.

    Check for sand dollars, clams, crabs and small conch shells. Please don?t take any shells that still belong to a living animal. If you see a hermit crab or sea star, just leave them alone to move along the beach they call home.

    I felt like I could lay there on the water forever and look up to the stars. To really see all of what God has created and how beautiful every little thing is. I sometimes take for granted how beautiful everything really is, just from all of the color and little details on certain things. Just took look at trees and the colors and shapes…

    The first salient moment occurred during the second day of the trip. We had just spent the entire day walking in the sand and the sun, and I was exhausted and hurting. We were all dragging, and slowing trudging through Nauset Marsh. It was just getting dark and the blood moon was rising over the beach, and the only thing I wanted to do and cared about at that moment in time was getting…

    Of course there is the beach itself too. The beach is where most of the daytime is spent riding waves, tanning, learning to skim board, building sand castles, and occasionally going sand crabbing in the evening. These may seem like insignificant places and memories but one thing that they have in common is that in all of them I was enjoying being a carefree, happy,…

    Because of those walk I know the exact location of every blackberry patch, apple tree, and seaglass beach in the entire town of Winter Harbor. What I remember bes about those walks, however, is very special place called Sand Cove. See Sand Cove in a sense is magical, because regardless of the temperature in the summertime you are guaranteed to get a cool southwest breeze in that spot every afternoon. That cool breeze, paired with the sweet, soft smell of the beach roses that line the shore, and the saltiness of the seaweed that is what I think of when I think of home. Now, as an adult I regularly run a route around Sand Cove, and thought I still love it, this place is not the…

    Although it sounds miserable, which admittedly it was for about the first five minutes, I ended up having an extraordinary time. I have never willingly wanted to spend time in Nature or outside, but I could have stayed on this beach for the rest of my life. It was a super peaceful experience, and I do not think it could have been experienced anywhere else. Going to the beach with people you like and care for can make the experience even better than it would be entially. I got the chance…

    Each year, a pilgrimage to the Florida or Alabama gulf coast is a highly anticipated and enjoyed event for my family. In the beginning, it was just my wife and I. Man oh man, these trips were some of the most relaxing times that I can remember. Now, our yearly “beach fest” includes our two children, Kaylee and Garrett. While this is still a wonderful family event, I no longer use the phrase “relaxing”. Elbert Hubbard once said, “No man needs a vacation so much as the man who just had one”.…
