Simple Pleasures- By The Sea

We recently took a four day mini vacation to our

favorite beach camping spot. 

We were right on the beach where every room has a view.

Motorhomes, trailers and tents occupy almost every spot.

We camped in our little home away from home,

our tent trailer.

Some of our good friends came also

and we were neighbors on this beach.

Now this vacation was purely a relaxing get-away.

That meant that there were no strenuous hikes, biking

or any other sort of non-relaxing activities.

What we did enjoy
was lots of...

sitting in our beach chairs,

dolphin & seal watching in our beach chairs,

reading magazines & books in our beach chairs

enjoying each others company in our beach chairs

campfires in our beach chairs.

Now, did I mention BEACH CHAIRS at all?

 I think I forgot to mention that my chair is

mostly known as the "queen's chair".

I'm not sure why my husband would name it that? Hmmmm.

My poor little old pink queen's chair
has seen it's last days, I'm afraid.

So, before our last trip out to the beach,  

we purchased a new queen's chair,

complete with

beverage holder, cell phone holder

large pocket for magazines & books

and a pillow for the queen's head.

I am really enjoying this new chair.

It is not pink, but I love it still.

This is my Simple Pleasure.

Now... on to HIS Simple Pleasure.

With all of the relaxing going on, I think that
my man and my friends man,
 may have been just a bit bored.

First, it started out like this.

And then, this.

And in the end...

Those men were very proud of their creations.

It actually did feel a little 'zen' on the beach after that.

One Simple Pleasure that we could all agree on,

was what we saw on one of our nightly walks.

This was a little something that one of the motorhome

occupants put out as a fun little

"double take" for everyone who happened by.

WOW... did it look real!
