Thread: vacation at the beach... Finer thing?

Well I am at myrtle beach with my wife and daughter. I don't really care for the beach but love the wife and daughter. Back many years ago during high school my family came to this beach and I swore I would not be back however I love my wife and daughter. They wanted to come to the beach.

The finer part of this story is I spent the day with Liv, my daughter in the pool helping her with her swiming. She is five. I have some killer photos of us on the beach. I had Krispy Kreme doughnuts fresh outa the frier this morning. I ate a steak this evening that was to die for. and I am now on the balcony looking at the Atlantic while enjoying a Romeo Y Julieta cigar realizing it is not the place but the people and memories.

I still have a sunburn and have the build of Moto Moto from Madagascar 2 (if you have kids you have seen this). I dont look buff on the beach but do have a good shave thanks to my Friodur no stain, TM practice strop, small tube of CO Bigalow and travel brush.

Enough rambleing

Hey,Don.You have discovered the secret to happiness.Enjoying the small things in life with the ones you love.It really is as simple as that.Have fun!And FWIW I'm also built like a God.It just happens to be Budda!

Sounds good to me! I'm not a big beach fan either. On my own I would probably never go, but with the family it's great. Add great food and a fine cigar...what's not to like?

LOVE the beach. Get a little cooked by the sun all day, cool off in the ocean (salt water works wonders on the skin). Throw some horse shoes, have a beer, smoke a cigar.

Then, go back to the house, have a shower and a great shave (shaves after a day at the beach seem better for some reason -- maybe the salt water?). Get dinner, open a bottle of wine, scotch and another cigar.

Does it get better than this?

I like the beach in the winter. In the summer there is too much sun and hot. I have a thing about swimming in salt water so I can't cool off. Then I have a problem with hot chicks in bikinis. I tend to stare and think the most amazingly dirty thoughts. In fact I am sure I can probably be arrested in 24 states for the things that run through my head on a sunny day at the beach.

Do you surf?

Brad, that's the beauty of it. We can think it and not do it. And then go back with our SO's and re-enact the thoughts (and when that happens we don't get arrested).


I don't surf and I figure I'm probably a little old to get started now. I was a competitive swimmer so I get around in the ocean.
