Here's what's rad about today: #1 It's officially summertime. #2 You can live in NYC and decide at the last minute you need a beach fix and actually make it happen. Same day. #3 With a simple click on your smartphone you can get a car (thanks nifty Hertz iPhone app) and have it picked up, packed and ready to go within 45 minutes. #4 In a half an hour your toes are in the sand and your kids are running wild like crazed beach rats.
We fell madly in love with the down-to-earth, rough-around-the-edges Rockaways last summer and we were so happy to be back there today. Sandy dealt a cruel blow but she didn't make off with the beauty, spunk and spirit of this place. Families, kids, lovebirds, surfers, people old and young, black and white, populate this sandy stretch and it just feels timeless. Old school somehow. Comfortable.
And now, here we are back at home. It's 5pm and we're sun kissed and sand rinsed. Frosty beverage in hand as I blog. Prepped and ready to grill some fresh lobsters on the Green Egg. Life is good indeed and we're reminded yet again of why we so dearly love this crazy town we call home.
#greatday
