Especially when we would return from the beach on a warm Sunday afternoon, just after the dog had cooled herself off with a dip in the bay and then climbed into the back seat of the car. Yum!?! <br /><br />I found an aerial picture of the "beach place" on a Washington State website a couple of years ago, and have installed it on my computer at the office as my wallpaper, so I can see the beach anytime I want.Blackie's Unclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03984495949713413248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361318102609414169.post-27436448340791765402009-06-24T09:07:19.510-07:002009-06-24T09:07:19.510-07:00I used to get really car-sick too.

I can handle the backseat, but much prefer the front seat - either driving or riding, because the back seat still makes me a little queasy. But no migraines for me. Thank you, Lord!<br /><br />I love your description of your trips to the beach. Our family had a mountain that we would picnic on often - and we always went to the same spot. On the way down, Daddy would usually let all four of us kids ride on the open tail gate and we would see if we could hop off, snatch a pine-cone off the road and hop back on again. Daddy, of course, would watch out the rearview mirror and speed up the minute one of us hopped off. :)Lynnette Bonnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14256307943304175911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361318102609414169.post-34027896786310846822009-06-23T03:46:22.341-07:002009-06-23T03:46:22.341-07:00Hmmm.

I'm most comfortable when I'm the driver too, but "wrestling" the wheel away from Hubby is tough! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361318102609414169.post-17936089571615878372009-06-13T10:39:30.833-07:002009-06-13T10:39:30.833-07:00Thanks for sharing!

My doctor told me that folks who were prone to carsickness as kids often grow up to have migraines. That's been true for me, unfortunately.<br /><br />My remedy is not to fall asleep, but to always be behind the wheel. As long as I'm driving, I don't feel ill.Katharinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018864144742273842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361318102609414169.post-16932453730043905132009-06-13T06:19:57.195-07:002009-06-13T06:19:57.195-07:00What a wonderful story (and a beautiful, peaceful ...What a wonderful story (and a beautiful, peaceful picture). I can picture "the beach" and it represents those precious places in all of us that we remember from childhood. Thank you for evoking my own fond memories. <br /><br />btw, you mention car-sickness and that is one of the less-pleasant memories you and I share. And I wonder if you still "take the remedy" as an adult as I do -- automatically fall asleep in a car (when not driving, of course). Luckily my husband doesn't need alot of conversation while he's driving and isn't annoyed by the occasional snore! <br /><br />As I look back, I'm guessing part of the sickness was from bigggg cars with looooose suspension, and me always sitting in the back seat. I remember drives up mountains where it felt to a little girl in the back seat like her part of the car was swinging wayyyy out over the edge -- enough to make anyone sick!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
