esCape the ordinary
Summer feels like a deep breath after a long sprint. Time to slow down, time for vacation, time for toes in the sand, time just for the sake of time. The weather goes from warm to insufferably hot, but we’re lucky to live in a city surrounded by beaches and the breeze off the harbor is a welcome respite. The drinks are on ice, the nights are longer, and the music gets louder. We dance in our bare feet. There’s a reason why we all have summer playlists on iTunes and the lyrics from summers past in our heads—the boys of summer, summer loving, the summer of ‘69, summer breeze makes us feel fine, and we fall in love with the lazy, crazy days of summer. We’ll find beach sand in the corners of everywhere for months after summer is gone, and smile as we sweep. But for now, the possibilities are as endless as the days, time stops on summer nights, and worries just seem to disappear. Toss the SPF into your beach bag, turn off the AC, roll down the windows and sing along to your summer playlist. Destination: anywhere you can smell salt and sand. You have the whole day ahead of you. Sunset starts at 8:30 p.m. sharp. Let’s catch a front row seat. We’ll bring the party and meet you there.
