Beach Strolls
There are so many things to love about a visit to the ocean, but if I had to choose one, I think it would have to be beach walks. I find my soul rejuvenated by a long walk along the edge of the sea, feet in the sand, the constant wash of the water in my ears, my cheeks kissed by sun and wind and my view unbounded. My heart lifts, my chest expands with every inhalation until I feel lighter than I do anywhere else. My mind seems to open up, too, and my everyday whirlwind of competing concerns and thoughts is swept away before that endless stretch of sky and sea and sand.

Creatures of the Deep
We shared the first four days of our end-of-summer week at the beach with my daughter, her husband and their two boys. Two years ago, just after they moved to Oregon from the Chicago area, we also spent time in Seaside with them; and Sean, our older grandson, remembered our great times there and was eager to repeat some of his favorite activities. First on the list was a visit to the Seaside Aquarium, a convenient short stroll just down the Promenade from our condo fronting the beach.
Annual Summer Trip
Going to the beach is my favorite thing to do in the summer, and every year my family and I visit Ocean City, New Jersey, for a week-long vacation. We always rent the same house on 25th Street. Next week is our vacation, but I can only go for the weekend this year, so I am planning on jamming everything I want to do into two days.

Making Plans for Future Travel
Over the past few weeks my husband and I have started to look ahead and make some plans for travel in the next year. Even while the coronavirus surges in some parts of the country and the EU may bar U.S. citizens from entering its borders in the coming week, we've decided to broaden our horizons literally and figuratively. While we aren't contemplating any major international travel or cruises just yet, we're certainly open to looking at some of the great travel deals out there right now and helping the travel industry bounce back.
