There are only a few places that I like to go after I have had a really stressful week.
One of those places is the beach. My wife and I often go to the beach on the weekend to spend the night in a hotel that is right on the water. There are a couple of different hotels that we regularly choose. One has tennis courts and a fitness center and another has an indoor pool. We recently stayed at a resort with an indoor pool. We stayed there for two nights in one of the hotel rooms on the 10th floor. We had windows that opened up so we could hear the waves outside. It was very hot and humid and we ran the air conditioner most of the time. It didn’t make much sense to open up the windows. I really like hearing the sound of the waves at night, but there is nothing quite like the way that the air conditioner feels. I’d rather be temperature comfortable without the sound of the waves. After a weekend at the beach, I usually feel relaxed and invigorated. I come home feeling like I can tackle any problem at work and the relaxation and time away from the house really makes my wife feel more at ease and relaxed as well. I think it would be nice to retire to the beach after the two of us are no longer working. I could easily get on board with a small two bedroom cottage that is big enough for the two of us and our two dogs. As long as it’s on the beach with access to fishing and surfing, I will say yes to just about anything.
