Quiet Day At the Bay

As I promised myself yesterday, I got out of the apartment for a couple hours. First, I looked at possible events taking place, and yes, found an exciting one, but had to rethink it because of my mobility problems. I can't stand for an excessive amount of time, or do a lot of walking - yet. I will get that taken care of with the weight I'm going to lose. So next year I'll go to the Brown County Fair going on until tomorrow.
However, I did go to my favorite park, as seen in one of the many pictures I took while I was there. It was a perfect day to watch whatever activity was going on on the bay. Sailboats were out, and a fishing boat too. I even got a picture of a parasailer, I think that's what they're called. If not please tell me so I can correct it.
The sun is out and the breezes made it a beautiful place to sit. The park was full, as it happened. There were plenty of parking spaces when I got there, but several other people had the same idea I did. Including a woman with her dog, which I tried to get a picture of, but he wasn't having any of it.
I got some reading done while I was there as well, and just enjoyed a day in the sun. Soaking up some Vitamin D. But I wasn't thinking about that as I enjoyed talking to a couple who lived about an hour west of Green Bay. Newly retired and enjoying a trip here and looking to see what else Green Bay has to offer.
It's amazing what a day out of the apartment will do. I'm feeling so much better than I have for days. The boredom has lifted, and just maybe I can put away the On Vacation sign on my brain and get some work done on a book as well.
I hope your day has gone well. Tell me how you're spending your Saturday. Thanks for reading.

I love your picture, it reminds me of the bay that we used to live down the road from.
We've had a quiet afternoon, I shopped this morning.
We will be going out for a quiet supper in a little while.
Its such a nice day today, gentle breeze, not too hot......

Thank you. I just got a new card for the camera as the other was full and it's a 64 vs. the 32 I had. The guy at the store said it would make the images have more definition. I was amazed at how much more they were compared to the ones on the past card.

What a beautiful photo! It looks peaceful and pretty. It reminds me of our home away from home in Florida. It has been a beautiful day here in Boston. My hubby and I did a lot of damage and helped support the Boston economy this weekend. We are on our way out for a Brazilian dinner, which we loved in Rio de Janeiro. Heard this place was exceptional!

That is great that you had a nice day outside. I haven't done much today at all. I was up early for the gym. I had my weigh-in, my "before" pictures for the Detox Diet, and then the 8am workout. Then I came home, ate, took a nap, and then a nice long bath. That's as much as I've accomplished today.

@kobesbuddy That's great. I never stay in the car, unless it's cold out.

@just4him I love going down near Lake Huron, where they have a park area. I sit in my car and pray as the Lord leads me.
