It is about 105degrees today (with our first showing of clouds)so a dip in the Gulf is in order. With suits, towels, and sunscreen in hand, off we go the the family beach for a little R & R. They have a wonderful boardwalk that runs along the beach, with plenty of open space, little cafes, restaurants, juice bars, Cold Stone, ATM's and coffee houses to name a few. So we decided to go for the gated, secure beach where you pay about $3 each and rent an umbrella and chaise lounges for $7 each, which you realize is so worth the money. Shade is a luxury here and it made me feel all fancy. So you pretty much sun a little, shade a lot, play in water, then repeat. So about this refreshing dip we were about to take, not so much. Water temp is about 90+ degrees, and the deeper you go only drops it very little, at least we are wet. The Water is amazing to look at, but not so good for the eyes...burning and oh so salty! The refreshing part happens as you quick walk on the very hot sand back to your lounge chair in hopes of a small breeze.
I saw more than one lady use BABY OIL, geeze I thought people knew better, & an entire family using Vaseline (never seen that before).
