Today Matt and I went to a beach on the military's version of a playground. We found a really nice beach on Bellows Air Force Station. The view was stunning, with water varying shades of blue and the skies as blue to match. We could see the island of Molokai from our perch on the beach. I took lots of pictures, which I will post sooner than later. The sand was perfect - silky smooth and fine, but that means that it gets everywhere. The beach would have gotten a 5 out of 5 in my book, but the water wasn't clear due to the texture of the sand.
We arrived at the beach around 10:30 or so and stay until 2:30. I am a nice shade of pink, and if I were a steak, I'd say I'm medium-rare. I would be much worse off if it wasn't for Matt ensuring that I was covered in sunscreen all day. The irony is that while he was adamant in my sunscreen use, he missed quite a bit on himself, and on the steak-scale, he is medium-well. I feel sorry for him.
We had a good time playing in the water and playing catch with our softball gloves on the beach. Matt had a good time making a sand fortress, and I think you'll enjoy the pictures I got of the process. We had bought sodas and sandwiches before we left and ate on the beach. All in all, it was a fun day.
Now, however, I must get back to my paper writing. Ugh.
