[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spend four hours sitting under an umbrella while my kids dig in the sand, make sand castles, body surf in the waves, throw footballs and frisbees, walk down the beaches to scout crabs, shells, neat castles and sand sculptures, etc. then we pack up, go back to the house , and the kids fall asleep after two bites of dinner, and are out for the night. I stay up watching movies, sipping wine on the porch, or maybe playing cards or games with the adults. 
That’s an east coast beach vacation. [/quote]

You do that every day for 7 days, unless it rains then you sit inside and watch TV. Boring.[/quote]

And what exactly is so interesting about hiking/biking/surfing for 7 days?

I personally love to be active and usually surf and swim in the ocean along with beach walks when I'm on my "east coast beach vacation".  But some of you west coast people sound like total meatheads.  You sound almost like a caricature of a dumb jock from a movie- obsessed with getting in a workout and unable to comprehend what would be appealing about, say, reading a book.

I'm starting to see why the west coast tends to get labelled as the place for "airheads".  Youre not helping the cause![/quote]

I am FROM the east coast and I would commit hari kari if I had to sit on the sand for four hours a day watching people throw a ball around. Actually I would just fall asleep.

Hiking, surfing, etc are actiities. That's what's interesting about them. You are doing something. You get some exercise, get to see something pretty, challenge yourself a little.

Back in the 80s, my friends and I used to go to the beach and smear ourselves in baby oil, of course. I hate lying out on the beach now, though. I think it's so boring. It can be fun to have a picnic or DO something - even read - but just going to the beach, then sitting there? No thank you. I[/quote]
