Warm days at the beach where a cool breeze floats in off the waves and the sun creates more freckles on my face. Delicious entrees of fresh seafood — crabcakes, shrimp, fish, clam chowder. Huge oaks draped with spanish moss, gravestones dating back several hundreds years, churches with historical significance.
St. Simons Island sounds lovely today.

Actually, I’m all about the hot beach weather. Mmmm… When we were all there in June, the ocean water was actually warm. Dee-lightful. Save me a seat in any season, though… I’m craving fresh seafood.

Maybe we should switch places – I’m longing for the homey coziness of snow and cold and live in a similar area to what you described! Want to trade houses for a week? :)

You should come to Scotland instead – the beaches are white and sandy and instead of a warm, gentle breeze to ruffle your hair you get lifted and thrown by a freezing gale…What could be better?

Monica, you may have a good idea there…!
Bry, I’m totally in the mood for a good blustery gale. Of course, I can get that from my own front porch these days.
