October is the perfect time for a beach weekend. It isn't too hot and it isn't too cold, there are people around but not crazy crowds. This weekend treated us to glorious clear skies and warm breezes. The outside pool was a Dad would say "bracing". But I inched in freezing my legs step by step before touching bottom. Of course it is only 3 feet deep so it wasn't much of a plunge. Bruce with his vacation mastermind scored us an oceanfront three bedroom condo and friends from Charlotte joined us. The husbands did their usual but left early and were home by 2 so we had some pool time with them before nap time. Luckily the ladies are not big shoppers so after a leisurely breakfast on the porch we donned bathing suits and took to the pool. We ventured down to the ocean but it is COLD. As the day went on we chatted with other adventurous ladies who joined us in the pool. As expected they were from colder locations like Binghamton and Omaha and found the weather warm and the pool perfect. I remember my kids and the lure of beach. Like good Canadians we all thought 60 was perfect shorts and sandal weather. They would willingly venture into summer beach in Nova Scotia where the rule seemed to be if you didn't turn blue in the first five seconds it must be warm enough. So thanks hubby for a great weekend.
