Thought

Don't you feel about 250 years old? I hope you had a great birthday weekend. Richie and I decided at the last minute to book a little motel room down at St. Simons Island. We've been there several times over the years, and, while it's a tad far for a short weekend, we really like the small town beach feel. We had a couple nice (hot) days on the beach. We ate some good seafood. Did a bit of reading. And watched an amazing America 250 fireworks display.
St Simons is one of those places where people stake out there territory. At the beach, there are dozens of easy-up tents set up days in advance. There is a competive atmosphere in how people enjoy the beach. Whatever, it works for them and we got our spot on the beach just fine without putting out a big "SAVED!" sign.
But when it came to the fireworks, I thought, what the heck, I'm going to get in on the action too! After lunch on the Fourth I placed our beach chairs stratgically at the edge of the shore just across from the pier. It was prime real estate and I was very proud of myself. Until, that is, the fireworks started and I realized possibly, we were a wee bit too close to the action. Turns out fireworks are maybe better enjoyed from a position of just a little distance. And not right on top of them!
From our location, the explosions happened directly over our heads. It was 100% sensory overload. While it was sort of cool, it was perhaps a bit unnerving when the on shore breeze pushed the falling ash and debris towards where it basically rained down on our heads. I wasn't really that worried until I saw a small fire errupt a few feet away. All in all it was a spectacular display. We did not, in the end, burn our heads off and our ears were fine. So happy birthday America.
Come see us at MetroFresh Uptown. We're here all week.
