Sunrise

So on our last day of vacation, we had this great idea to go see the sunrise before we left. We looked online and found out that the sunrise was at 5:45. So we all got up at 5:25 and trooped over to the ocean to see the sun come up. This sounds like a really good idea. Like, check-it-off-the-bucket-list good. It's such a romantic idea, getting up early to see the sun rise over the beach. Yeah.

So we got up promptly at 5:28 this morning and rolled out of bed. Put on a sweatshirt, glasses, and a headband and we all made our sleepy way to the beach. I, being the genius I am, forgot to put actual pants on and was still wearing very small shorts and while it wasn't freezing outside, pants would have been nice. So anyway, we stood around for a bit, mom took a picture of us- looking lovely, I'm sure- standing on the beach (proof that we actually got up) and we waited some more.

Fun right?

But then all of a sudden, we saw the very tip of the sun come over the horizon. My word it was pretty. It was bright red and the sky was all pink and blue and yellow and orange. Then, when the sun had completely risen, and we were about to walk away, we saw dolphins swimming out in the ocean. Perfect? I think so.

Was it crazy and unnecessary?
Yes.

Was it worth it?
20 times yes.
