This past weekend I had a great time, getting silly sunburned while enjoying a great book. Here I could take an idea from John Green and use several authors instead of cursing, but "Anne Rice Tolkien Cassandra Clare sun burn" sounds really weird.
Anywho, I wanted to share some of the amazing things I see from the beach house and the beach. Beach house is kind of a misnomer in this case, because technically, the house isn't on the beach, even though you'll be on the beach in less than a minute if you stumble and roll down the hill.
You can't really see the slope because it's behind the big rhododendron. Said rhododendron is really pretty, and has some really funny eye creatures in them.
Aren't they just too cute?
Boy and Dad-in-Law were being Adulty adults and mowed the lawn and cut the hedges, while I was sitting in the sun, reading "A Game of Thrones".
Sitting in the sun for more than 10 minutes at a time is BAD FOR YOU if
you're like me and have really fair skin, so don't do it. Even Spf 25 is
not enough if you're a freckled nerd like this Hedgehog and never go
outside.
BE CAREFUL IN THE SUN. You don't want to look like this.
This book was totally worth it, though.
I also kind of accidentally stumbled upon a historic location while wandering around the cliffs that makes up the majority of the beach.
Now there's a parking lot and a trampoline where there once was a steam boat dock. Also, the entire fiord was apparently riddled with sink mines and submarines and military. Well, there's still a military base somewhere along the coast (no idea where it is), but not 1940's military, that I know of.
Other things I saw were
And these rhododendron buds.
Boy managed to commandeer my camera one evening and took this amazing sunset photo. The view is from the patio by the beach house. Looking at the sun setting over the ocean really brings home the beauty of the world for me.
