Southampton aka: South Hampton

It was the first time I saw the Atlantic Ocean. Cold, but beautiful.

I’m living out of a motel in long island with my husband waiting to move into our new apartment in Queens so I am jobless and have lots of time on my hands. Yesterday I figured I would take a drive to the famous hamptons and check it out. I had such a wonderful time. I hadn’t done an alone trip (table for 1 included) since I’ve been married and it was nice to see I still had my solitary sense of adventure. I have to admit that I keep wanting to point stuff out to a husband who wasn’t there (working) so while I had fun I think I am appreciating him in ways I may not have in the past. Southampton treated me very kindly. I got out of a speeding ticket (thank you officer), saw a cool art show, smelled the very missed ocean breeze, and stuffed my face with the turkey special. It was a longer drive than I thought but still happy to know we are much closer to the ocean and already excited to swim in the summer time.
