Adios Summer.....

I really didn't get to the beach much this summer. This might sound silly....but it was just TOO hot for the beach. I decided that a trip to Jones Beach, over Labor Day weekend, would be a nice way to end this WAY too hot summer. I mostly strolled the boardwalk and did a lot of people watching. I decided to get something to eat and this is where it got a little crazy. I bought these chicken strips. I went out to the picnic tables on the boardwalk and I took one bite. I took this picture (I have no idea why I took this picture...but looking back...it is pretty funny). I took a sip of the Sprite I bought and realized that it was just the carbonated water. I left my food on the table and went in to get a new drink. Let me just say that this photo is the ONLY proof that this food ever existed. When I came back, I saw the butt ends of 5 ENORMOUS seagulls that had stolen my damn food and were squawking away.

I came out of the snack place like a superstar. Everyone had their eyes on me because they wanted to see the freak that had left their food unattended while 900 seagulls swarmed the place. One lady actually approached me and said, "You should have seen it. It was like a scene from the movie The Birds." I wanted to say, "Ya, next time kick one of the birds instead of just watching them." Too funny!

That is too funny! I would have loved to see you standing there with your mouth wide open in disbelief! A lesson learned, right?

Ya, it was pretty funny mom. There was seagull on the table when I came out. It looked like it was going to bite me. It wasnt apologetic for stealing my food at all. I had a look on its face like he was thinking, "Ha, take that!" I swear that it laughed, rolled its eyes, and flew away. Ha!!
