Beach Day

Today, Wesley and I went to the beach! The ocean here is so beautiful. You can see if from just about every part of town, but you can't ever see the sand. There is a huge barrier of boulder-like rocks and that is pretty much all you see when you look out...that and the water.

We woke up this morning and looked at our thermometer...it read 90 degrees. I think something is wrong with it! haha It was right in the sunlight so maybe that had something to do with it. Later, it read 70 and I think that was about right. Wesley wore a tshirt and jeans and I opted for a light long-sleeved tshirt and jeans because the breeze off the ocean is pretty chilly. We ate lunch at Airport Pizza, which is probably my favorite lunch spot so far, and then headed to the pharmacy to get some prescriptions filled. Then, we timed ourselves to see how far it would take to walk from the hospital to our apartment..8 minutes.

I wanted to go gold panning, but after some research, it turns out you have to have special permission to do that in certain places. There are public access areas, but I was unsure of what those were, so needless to say, we didn't go. However, during my research, I came across an article about Nome's beaches and sea glass. Mom and I found a piece of sea glass one time and we thought it was the greatest thing in the world, so I thought me and Wesley should give it a try. We went down to Middle Beach, found the break in the rocks, and went straight for the water!

Turns out, there is sea glass everywhere! We had so much fun picking it up. Wesley finds all the greens and I find all the blues. I have green eyes and he has blue eyes, and Wesley's theory is that we are each attracted to the other color and that's why we got married! haha

We took a break from the beach and went to a yard sale. There wasn't much there, so we walked around for a little bit before dinner. We just had leftovers which is pretty boring. After dinner, I was bored, and since the sun doesn't go down.... we went sea glass searching again!!! Mom said she wanted a postal box full, so we better get searching! haha

Anyway, we had a lot of fun today, and I'm so glad we had such pretty weather today!

Till Next Time,

Wesley and Maddie
