Scenes from the beach / 2

I was really proud of myself at the beach.  All year I had been stressing over my stretch marks.  I had convinced myself that I would never again wear a two piece swimsuit.  Well, I did it anyways.  I have a one-piece, but my torso is so long, it is really uncomfortable.  So, I pulled out my other ones and wore them.  Now, I did keep my cover-up on while walking around, but baby steps, right?  And getting a tan on my tummy actually helped to minimize how much you can see them.  Wow, a whole paragraph about my stretch marks.

We've started a little tradition.  Well, we've only done it for two years, but tradition sounds good.  We hit up Joe's crab shack when we go to the beach now.  You can't go to the beach and not eat good seafood, right?  It's the one time Taylor splurges and gets the thirty dollar king crab bucket.  He dreams about it all year.  I stick to shrimp, because, well shrimp.  And you can't go wrong with that.
