It was a beautiful afternoon to head to the beach with my international babies. Elly (in the middle) invited Eunjin (left) last spring when we went; they both loved it. It was Mariana's first look at the Atlantic Ocean; she dipped her toes, but then was afraid to even walk in the waves because it was just a tad cooler than the waters off the coast of Brazil where she lives! Yup!
.
I, on the other hand, loved the water. Sure it was a little cool (read cold) when you first went in; but once you were knocked over by a large wave or two, it felt much warmer. Actually, it was so glorious! Large, foamy waves for body surfing, and then a beach chair and a good book for drying off.
.
We got ice creams and walked the boardwalk and back around the beach. Man! It was just what I asked you for September!
.
Back home while the girls showered, I lit a candle outside and sat with a glass of sangria in my salty bathing suit encrusted happiness with sand in all my nooks 'n' crannies and my wind-blown winged hair. Dinner on the deck was delicious -- home-made barbequed burgers flavored with parsley, cumin and a pinch of basil & chili powder and fresh corn on the cob slathered with oodles of butter and salt. Ahhhh!
And September -- corn on the cob wasn't even available here in August.

So, who's a good month now?

Thanks September! Can we do this again real soon?

I'm so wishing I could have been there to enjoy the beach with you. How wonderful! Today was wet damp and rainy here. Thanks for sharing those lovely pictures. I feel better just looking at them.
That sounds like a wonderfully typical September coastal day in the Maritimes. Your 'girls' look beautiful and I hope they will love it there. Enjoy the day off on Monday. Pamela
I can't do the Atlantic out here in Alberta but maybe I could have the burgers and corn . That by itself would be super. Thanks for the great description. Good luck to your "babies" for their stay in Canada.
Sounds like a great day:)
The Atlantic beach in Sept with the girls sounds like fun. Glad you enjoyed it and the corn on the cob.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope you will come back soon :)
Looks like it was a good time.
Yay for corn on the cob.
I'm with you.
Stay forever September!
