Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

Winding our way down the road to the beach yesterday, we ran into some torrential rains along the way. Navigating our way through the rapidly forming puddles, my friend's car felt like a boat as the water cascaded up over the sides of the car. But, we didn't let that deter us from talking and laughing the whole way...knowing that our destination was getting closer and closer.

There is something about arriving at the coast that puts one's body and mind into a complete relaxation mode. I could feel it coming over me as I entered my friend's beautiful condominium and settled in with the Girlies.

Conversation is always flowing when we are together...we never seem to run out of things to talk about...and, that is a definite perk in going away with 'the girls'. I'm not sure that men can ever completely grasp this female ability to just sit and talk for hours and hours...without coming up for air...

We went out to a little neighborhood restaurant for dinner and it was great! Three of us ordered a 'wine flight' where they bring you four different wines to taste. The glasses sit on a sheet of paper describing each wine and giving the name. Of course, you can always purchase the bottle to take home if there is one that you especially enjoy.I thought that it was a lovely way to experience some different and unique wines.

Back to the condo....and more talking until almost midnight. You might think that we would have covered everything by now...but, this morning we picked up right where we ended last night.

While the sun was out this morning, a few of us headed down to the ocean where we sat under the umbrellas, relaxed, and yep, talked some more.....

Well,I've got to go...I am missing some of the conversation going on in the next room! : )
