A day in paradise


June 29 2006

Yesterday’s word-of-the-day:

susurration \soo-suh-RAY-shun\,
noun: A whispering sound; a soft murmur.

What words can I find to describe the day we had today. You could say that we took full advantage our milieu, which could only be described as a paragon of relaxation. A cool night chased away by the sun rising over the placid water into a cloudless sky beaming down on a beckoning sandy beach. The whole day was a Kodak moment. Our little Matrix was looking pretty bad after being dragged through a couple of rain showers on the way here so I decided to give it a wash. I know this might not sound great to you but I find it so calming to take my time while washing my car. As the sun reflected off the freshly cleaned flanks and I could see the kids playing in the water off in the distance, I pondered how I could possibly be enjoying myself more than this. A few minutes later saw me sipping on a cool, refreshing coke … with just a touch of the wholesome goodness of rye added for good measure. Yes, life was good indeed!

I joined the others on the beach for some Frisbee, some baseball, and, of course, some photos. The kids met Jacob from Cleveland and had a blast playing with him most of the afternoon. We have certainly found a gem in the Woodstar Campground and catching it before it gets filled up with summer campers just makes it that much more enjoyable. It is a shame we must leave so early but perhaps we will return one day.

By the way, the last two blog entries were brought to you by Holiday Inn Express. Thanks for the wireless access!
