My birthday is in four months and I'm still trying to find something to do to ring in the big 3-0. I want to rent a beach house for me and fam but having a birthday so close to the Fourth of July makes that venture extremely expensive. Plus I don't want just any beach, it has to be someplace with clear water. I grew up staring at the Potomac River so brown water doesn't interest me. I've only been to two beaches in my life. One was in The Grand Caymans and the other was Sandy Point beach.
Sandy Point beach is the equivalent of going swimming in a wastewater treatment facility. They say I was stung by six jellyfish, but personally I think I caught scabies in the water. I never actually got to get in the water in The Grand Caymans because cleaning crew on the cruise ship, Amistad, that took us there misplaced my trunks, sandals and anything else I would've used to go swimming.
For my 30th I want to make amends. I just want to sit on a private beach somewhere and watch the tide roll in as the sun rises on the greatest day of the year. My daughter and I have the same birthday so it'll be nice to say that she was able to do at two, what I couldn't do until I was thirty.
Here's hoping.
