so ninja kitty and i went to the beach Monday. there was a bit of deliberation as it was rather overcast…but we went anyway. actually, overcast days are better for us sun lovers because the cloud-filtered sun is more concentrated. (and yes it is worse for you because it’s stronger. pussified does recommend sunscreen my kittens, though she uses the only bottle of spf 4 that’s still sold)
we got there around 10:30 even though we left at 8:30 and hit the beachy area by 9:30. we had gps issues. quite a few other people must have had the same “should we go or not go” deliberation because there weren’t many people there for a holiday, which was surprising.
our only company at first had wings. we were brutally bit by these ugly, tiny bugs. first i thought i had fleas and that i gave them to ninja kitty, but everyone around us was audibly complaining. so, i was glad it wasn’t my issue. after determining that if it got too bad we’d throw in the towel (pun intended) and go grab lunch somewhere, we settled down and fried.
something happened and we must have fallen asleep because the next time we looked up about 1.5 hours later the beach was crawling with people. and then we decided lunch was a better than 184 different loud conversations and children screaming.
now, here’s something i just don’t understand about the beach. why is it that you can be at a beach for about 3 hours and not feel like you got any sun, but the second that beach blanket is rolled up and you look at your friend and she looks at you you both go “wow! you got a lot of color!”
sunscreen kitties…sunscreen.
