Bears at the Beach

We have returned to Sandy Hook on the Jersey Shore. We got here yesterday minutes before Hanna arrived with gusto. Doing our best Dan Cantore impersonation, we went to the beach and stood outside looking like idiots. Sideways rain, fierce wind. And it stung. It was a blast!

Today Hanna is gone and the weather has been perfect. Gunnison Beach was on our agenda today and we weren't the only ones. There were a lot of bears on the gay side of the beach. Disney must have been doing a casting call for the "Bare Neccessities" number in The Jungle Book.

It was great fun watching a group of about 15 bears body surf together. If you've never seen a brood of nekkid bears body slam a wave you just don't know wet hairy fun. One poor bear stepped on something or got stung by something. Forturnately a Medical Bear was near by and applied the appropriate salves and ointments from his pouch. These bears were prepared.

We came back from the beach, relaxed in the jacuzzi and then each got an hour full body massage. The LTR is getting his now, I had mine first and I'm now writing this from the porch overlooking the Shrewsberry River and the Atlantic.

It's been a (forgive me) bear-y good day.

I am glad you both had a well-deserved rest together! It sounds like fun! We need to figure out when the 6 of us can get away to Rehomo! We had fun dancing in Hanna on Saturday - although you were not dancing so much as being, is that true? ;-)
