YOU are that person at the beach that makes my beach time so awkward…….8)
@ngie // May 15, 2008 at 7:41 am
Most of the same stuff you mentioned… on a mountain side. (Not the game or the tanning though.)
Heather // May 15, 2008 at 8:29 am
Play with my kids! Spend time in worship! Reading the Bible. Speinding time with my husband!
TheNorEaster // May 15, 2008 at 8:52 am
Yeah. I could spend hours and hours and hours and hours writing a single post. And I’m so critical of my own work that I am convinced it shows when I DON’T spend hours and hours and hours and hours on a single post.

I’m with you, girl — I can hang out on the beach for hours and hours and hours (but haven’t had the opportunity to do so yet this year - boo). I also love hanging out with the husb for hours on end, riding bikes and napping. Ooohh… hanging out on the beach for hours, going for a nice bike ride on the island and then taking a long nap, all with my husb. Now THAT’S a great day!
Still envying your time on the beach — enjoy it!
Brandy // May 15, 2008 at 10:58 am
But really, I love the beach and everything you mentioned. Well, everything except the tanning and running part.
I love to just sit on the beach and read. I could also walk up and down a beach ALL DAY. Particularly a beach where there’s not a lot of people. I don’t like a lot of people at the beach. 
jon // May 15, 2008 at 11:06 am
two things come to mind…
play with my daughter at home!!!
hang out with my Taylor and Korg and just run through whatever songs come to mind…taking a sip of Starbucks between tunes when needed!
Daniel Underwood // May 15, 2008 at 12:27 pm
basketball… love that sport
read… don’t so much love the studying part of it, but I enjoy reading for pleasure and knowledge
Cheryl // May 15, 2008 at 12:50 pm
I can spend hours on the beach…I don’t need the tan though!
Reading, internet…listening to music.
BTW, was that Drew’s cousin who won America’s Top Model…I don’t watch the show but she was on Regis and Kelly this a.m.

Besides reading blogs?! I can spend hours listening to music, perusing through a book store, reading. I love the beach but after a couple hours I’m over it and ready to do something else. My wife, however, could easily spend the whole day there.
ramsey72 // May 15, 2008 at 1:35 pm
Read, listen to music, explore art and history museums, the beach, watch movies.

cathi stegall // May 15, 2008 at 3:35 pm

Mandy, I just got back from my daily trip to the beach where I also read, have picnicked and played bocci ball. I have friends there and we laugh, talk and listen to each other. There is a bible study group that meets there but I don’t attend it. As far as the kissing part, I don’t “make out” in public anymore. That takes place behind closed doors now.
In my younger days in New York City I did pretty much anything, anywhere.
