Sunrise

Hello!

Long time no see! We are officially moved, and the proud owners of a digital camera. A moving post will hopefully be coming soon, but until that time, here are some pretty pictures from this morning.

Very early this morning.



Fat Rock and I ventured to the beach to enjoy the sunrise. This was actually Fat Rock's idea. Before we were married, he lived in an ocean-front off-season rental, and frequently got to enjoy the sunrise while getting ready for work. As he is both a morning person and a romantic, he decided to share this experience with me.

We woke up early. 5:45 early, on a Sunday. We were able to get dressed and into the car by 6AM. WITHOUT coffee.

Dunkin' Doughnuts was still closed.

But traffic is non-existent at 6AM on a Sunday. We made it to the beach in 10 minutes, versus the 20 or so it usually takes. We also found out that parking is free until 8AM. HOORAY!

We spread out our blanket and sat down.

We watched birds.

We also watched the other people on the beach. Yep, we weren't the only ones there. Amazing. It looked like most of them were tourists, with the possible exception of that drunk guy sleeping on a bench, complete with open bottle.

We watched the sky brighten up.

Then we watched the sunrise.





Beautiful.



Watched some more birds




Then it was time to head back to the car. Over the past year, the town has updated the boardwalk, trying to make it more "family friendly." It looks nice, but still smells like beer.



On the way home, we stopped at the now-open Dunkin Doughnuts. Hooray!




We had a great time. I only wish sunrise wasn't so early!
