Vacation: First day and I never learn!
Yeah! It is finally summer vacation, and the first day of vacation was a long and beautiful day with the family at the beach, swimming and diving in the sea and just plain old relaxing in the sun.
Usually we go down by the sea, just 10-15 mins walk from our house, however, today we went out to Øksneset (Austrheim) which is an hours drive ++ from our place. Øksneset is a perfect place for kids as it has a small lagoon. On our way we stopped to buy the kids an inflatable rubber boat/dinghy. A really popular gift!
Finally at the lagoon, we were eager to get going with the swimming (especially the diving). My son and I just got ourselves some scuba gear, and we were both more than ready to try it out. So, on with the wetsuits, and out we went. My son and I were in the water, more or less, for three straight hours.
The day went on, and we really had a lot of fun, but as usual … I never learn! As I wore a wetsuit most of the day I considered myself fairly safe, so I did the obvious, I skipped sun block and got down to business (diving) forgetting the most obvious part of my body … my head! As I also have a short springsuit (half arms and legs) you can imagine that I also got sunburned on both legs and arms …
The summer moves on, and I just got the most out of day one! I am bald, but not so beautiful when sunburned!
