I was amazed at how easily Jason had navigated us through all the winding roads with only stopping to glance at the map twice throughout the day. The wide expansion of the beach was much longer than I would have guessed. A few pine trees bordered either side. Since this was a location with a lower altitude, it felt like the mountains were enclosing around us. I must have taken at least fifty pictures as something new always caught my gaze. While walking around, I told Jason more about our family plans for Sunday and how we were going to be playing water volleyball. I also informed him that Pearl would be joining us. He thought it was a great idea, and I was elated that he agreed.Jason and I spotted the main strip and continued to head north down the street, ambling along with our hands twined together. A row of shops appeared on our left, and I tugged Jason toward them. My shopaholic mind quickly consumed my thoughts. “Where are we going?” Jason laughed, following my lead.“Shopping!”
