Beach or Mountains?

Categories
Lifestyle
Last weekend, we were at a family wedding in Schroon Lake, New York in the Adirondack foothills. Many of the festivities were in the town of Lake George. Being there for a few days caused me to rethink my life-long voiced preference for beach over mountains. I love the beach. However, I have come to accept that looking out at a lake with mountains in the background beats looking out at the ocean fading into the horizon. And then there are the trees and the leaves. An ever-changing pallet. And when I close my eyes, the image is of the mountains. Perhaps that says it all.

Both are glorious, but I still prefer that salt air smell...

I mention the leaves in tomorrow's Friday With Fred blog...

Tough choice but I think ocean wins in my book. It too is ever changing, with wave and tides. Can't beat the sound and scent too. Very soothing.

I'm love the view of the ocean outside my window when on vacation. The sparkle of the sun on the water is beautiful to me. However, I've never spent much time in the mountains.

Both are wonderful, each has their own magic and beauty. Like you Ben I always opted for the beach, now I enjoy and appreciate both.
