Salty air

We just got back from a long weekend at  Litchfield Beach. It's a beautiful beach in SC, very close to Pawley's Island. What is it about the beach that can bring some much needed peace and relaxation? It has to be a combination of the salty air, sand between your toes, the sounds of the waves crashing, the smell of suntan lotion. We left sweet Hagen behind and focused on nothing more than relaxing for 4 days. It felt good to get out of a schedule for a few days with no morning alarms.
