I did not get to SAFF like I hoped this year. My back would not have sat for 20 hours. It is less then that in the car but I am just adding stops and such. I could have flown but then how would I have brought fleeces back? It is all about the logistics.
The suggestion was made of a camping trip to the beach. Since camping can occur on Sunday nights, camping was to be had! The flexibility of not "working" Mondays is huge. I put working in parenthesis because work always seems to happen but no specific location is needed. Therefore, part of the run of the silvers we became. Silvers are those who are retired and travel/camp on the shoulder seasons when kids are in school.
There was no surf but there were cooler temperatures and lots of beach to walk. The insects were not even hovering due to the wind. Even though camping items were forgotten, it was very comfortable and restful.
The grasses even looked a bit like autumn. Though by the time we left the beach it did not feel like autumn. It was a lovely break from everyday life and the city. We have decided to do more of this type of quick camping this year. I do believe part of it is to see if we would use a van conversion. Converted for camping. Of course we would but this is the test.
More this weekend! I am looking forward to it.
