Our fall vacation to the beach yielded plenty of rain this year. What would one expect when they travel in the midst of Tropical Storms that hovered up and down the coast? This was a good thing for the areas that have been without rain for many months. A local resident that we met while eating at our favorite restaurant informed us that there hasn't been two days of consecutive rain since May. In fact one of the smaller beaches that we like to frequent was closed due to higher levels of bacteria which is caused by a lack of rain water. There wasn't any flooding here as far as we could tell but we did hear that the water level rose. While one would typically render this a disaster of a vacation we decided to make it the best vacation that we could and do you know what? We succeeded!
Would we have liked to have had more sunny days at the beach? Of course.
We quickly realized that the rain didn't stop us from having good quality time together, it didn't stop the fun, it didn't keep us from doing anything that was on our "list" of vacation things to do! With a little last minute adjusting to our schedule we were able to leave earlier than planned and get two sunny beach days in at the beginning of the trip.
I feel like we were able to live out our theme for life now FINDING SUNSHINE. Maybe there wasn't a lot of sunshine in the forecast, but there was plenty to go around in our family. I felt good. It felt right and refreshing to our souls. This vacation was just what we needed and I am glad that we stayed and made the most of our trip.
I'll be sharing more thoughts and reflections from our trip soon. Stay tuned.
