Going to Hawaii a year and a half ago was one of the best trips of my life and I’m constantly thinking about when we’ll be able to get back (short answer: probably not for a long time!)
But if I can’t get there in person, I can pretend I’m there, even when I’m still in Regina. During my walk around Wascana Lake today at noon, there was lots of inspiration…
- One person I passed was wearing coconut-scented sunscreen. If that doesn’t put you right on the beach, nothing will!
- Another person, heavily tattooed and looking like a lifetime surfer was getting ready to take out a paddle board from the marina
- I was listening to all kinds of “summer” music I also listened to in Hawaii – Bob Marley, Beach Boys, Jason Mraz, etc.
- It was hot but not too hot, slightly muggy but not too muggy. In other words, just like Hawaii, perfect weather.
- Lots of people in shorts, bathing suits, sun hats, etc. If I’d seen someone carrying a shave ice, I wouldn’t have looked twice! 😉
