Lazy Dayz of Summer


We're taking a little blog break here, but I wanted to post some pix of our days of late what with stay-at-home stuff and all.  So y'all know, the old guy is wearing a bathing suit. I just don't like bare-legged laps and the towel makes for a nice soft bed.
Most weekend days we spend time out on the deck in the sun, but one recent cloudy & windy weekend mom and dad took a ride over to the Brunswick Riverwalk in Belville just across the river from Wilmington, for a lazy afternoon stroll.
  The wind was pretty strong and the marsh grass was whipping, but dad says he's disappointed that the photos don't really show it. 
This past weekend they got out for more local exploring, and hit the trails at Carolina Beach State Park,
enjoying the views overlooking the Cape Fear River and relishing the peace and quiet. 
Mom did some digging online and discovered Smith Creek Park, a small, quiet spot only about 20 minutes from us.

They finished their day with an easy one mile walk on the trail that winds around the lake and soaking up the last of the abundant sunshine.  So I hope you enjoy these, and we'll be back in a week or two.

It's always nice to take a break, especially when a lap and beautiful scenery are involved.

Oh, I very much enjoyed these photos. I'm envious, too. ~hangs head~ We miss our visits to North Carolina's Outer Banks. Be well and enjoy all the lap you can get, Cleo. And take care of your mom and dad. :)

The weather is nice here as well, but we are some way from the sea.

Mom bean says the towel helps keep the claws out of legs too. At least a little bit.

Enjoy your blogging break!

Ivan from WMD said...

But once again, we don't see YOU in those lovely waterside photos. What's up with that?

Have a relaxing break, and don't let your dad get like our mom.
