Workin for the weekend......

I am sure that has been the motto for many this week as the word is out, its supposed to be nice this weekend.
Gradually as the week has progressed the temperatures started to rise and out they came. Yes, I noticed today when I was
traveling to and from work and around town, the visitors are increasing. Its amazing for the temperature to increase 20 degrees and the local weatherman to say that its going to be a nice weekend, the people flock to the beach.
You see usually you can get onto the main road easily and not have to wait for the stoplights thru one cycle, but now its actually kind of busy around here. The first place you notice is the grocery store, there comes a time when you can usually get a front row parking spot but now you actually have park out a little to get into the store. The first time you notice is on friday night that the visitors have arrived, no more front row parking!
Don't get me wrong, we love the visitors to the island and the area, its just so unusual that it is so early in the year. Usually Easter break is the first time we see significant amounts of people since New Years. Its a pleasant surprise to see them so soon. Oh, I am not thinking that spring is here and that we should start getting the boat out and ready, this is just a teaser. I won't rush to the store for this years version of the bathing suit, (they already have them out) because you never should shop for a bathing suit with white legs and black knee high socks. For some reason it just doesn't work for me. I have to get some self tanner and then maybe I can stomach the look enough to try some of them on.
We will be lucky to have these few days of lovely mild temperatures but beware.... next week it will return to temps as usual in the 40's and 50's. I am sure there will be another day or two that will make us long for those mild days, but really, I am not counting on them anytime soon. Living near the water, it takes a little longer because of the Ocean breezes so until it gets to the point that we are complaining about the 90+ degree temperatures, I'll just be happy with the sun shining.
Next week we will be headed down that stretch again and working for the weekend, hopefully it will start to tease us more and more each day.
