An Excursion With No Essential Purpose

The fam and I had our first outing just for fun since the mandatory stick to home orders - 5 1/2 months with no fun is a very long time.  It was so very needed, and such a relief.  Toes now dipped in, maybe there can be more....

All of our outings up to now have been for groceries, for medical appointments, to get hardware - all deemed to have an essential purpose.  Finally, today's outing to Jones Beach was just to stretch our legs for the fun of a different setting in which to walk.  As safe a place as any, with the natural ocean breezes to disperse any lingering aerosols - even if only half the walkers were masked as they were supposed to be.  Less than optimal, but within acceptable risk tolerances.

The outing was a psychological boon far more than it was a physical one.  In these times, I will take what I can get.
