biking and salty dog [again] and then beach! 

high 82º. it’s a beach day! 

the day was spent:

• waking up late
• starbucks
• walmart for a frisbee on the beach
• a 8 mile bike ride to main street
• lunch at the cafe/pub (i had this delicious drink “sandy paws”)
• changed when we got back 
• went to the beach
• then to the grocery store to get sides for dinner
• for dinner: steak, steak fries, and green beans sautéd in butter and bacon

it’s a beautiful day! high 78º and sunny! what a great way to start vacation! 

i hope to be on later tonight to try and catch up, but no guarantees! tomorrow holds kayaking, beach again, and who knows what else! {we’re looking into zip lining, but could be too expensive for this trip}

oh, and i forgot to tell you all that i got my first speeding ticket, yesterday, while driving down! horrified more so on how my parents would take it, but they were just happy we were okay. {Virginia, you and your cops are vicious. you and your state are $331 richer, you’re welcome.}

yes, i have a mason jar on my book shelf filled about 1/4 of the way with rolls of coins and loose change. i’m up to about $13 since november when i cashed in my last jar. i plan on cashing in this the week before vacation. we’ll see how much i use then

i prefer to use cash rather than a debit card because i feel like i am more in control of my money. whereas a debit card is harder to have control over, you don’t always register the transactions and think before using it! and with cash, that’s how i get my jar filled with the change, so it’s like it’s killing two birds with one stone! -meg
