camping, relaxing at the beach, watching golf
I love camping with my family on weekends and/or holidays. We love to get out in the open air as much as possible. When we are not camping we are relaxing on the beach with a big umrella and an ice cold tea. My husband is an avid golfer, so he has gotten me very interested in golf. I enjoy watching tournaments with him on weekends. One of these days we will go see a live tournament!
