We need a beach. And an ocean.
You know how much we love it here in New York – out in the middle of nowhere, with more cows than people for neighbors. And we love that we have 4 distinct seasons as well as great weather for gardening most years. But, man, did we need a vacation after this brutal winter. In the midst of our trip to see Lauren and Steve, we took a quick two day trip down to St. Augustine, Florida, which they had been to a couple times before. It was an inspired idea – pure heaven.
The white building there in the middle was where we stayed. If I ever win the lottery, I’m buying it.
Would it be so hard to have just a little ocean right here where we live?
With a nice little beach?
And a few pretty ocean birds?
It just doesn’t seem like it would be that hard, is all I’m saying.

We’re leavin – on a jet plane…
We do know when we’ll be back though. At least if everything goes as planned – like, you know – the plane taking off and landing as it is scheduled to do, as well as, in the recommended position and manner. I took this shot just two years ago – the very first time I ever flew, where I discovered I actually like it a lot more than I [or anyone who knows me] thought I would. 
We are such hicks though, and I expect it shows, even to strangers. I always imagine that looking at us, they would expect us to heave a crate of live chickens into the overhead bin and bring out some raw potatoes to munch on when we get hungry, like descriptions in Russian literature of peasants on trains in the 30 and 40’s. Ha – I’ll show them! I’ll play Angry Birds on my Droid the whole way there.
Anyway – I might share a thought or photo along the way, and I hope all of you have a great week – even if you aren’t on vacation!
Here is my account of the first time I flew – a few more nice pics.
