Birthday on the Beach

Today was my birthday and we celebrated at the end of the day with a trip to the beach at Surfside to watch the sunset. I'd never been in a truck being driven onto the sand so it was a new experience. We let air out of the tires until it reached 15 PSI (pounds per square inch) and then left the roadway heading onto the beach. It was a beautiful day, albeit windy, but a great way to spend a birthday. Nikki the dog romped on the sand but steered clear of the water. We were amazed at the number of planes flying overhead. Boy, was it a busy day in the air. Otherwise, we had the beach pretty much to ourselves with only another person nearby beachcombing along the surf. This is Nantucket at its finest and I'm happy that Craig suggested this as a way to celebrate this special day. I'm indeed a lucky lady!
