Beach or Mountains

Generic 1 Minute

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

Daily writing prompt

Do I prefer the mountains or the beach… That’s kind of like asking me which of my step kids I prefer. The honest answer is both. I couldn’t pick just one or the other. One of the great things about living in New England is that we have the Atlantic Ocean right nearby, and up to the North we have all sorts of mountains. All of it is within a couple of hours drive.

I love them both. I love to go visit the ocean and the lakes scattered throughout the region. I love to go to the mountains. I am not the kind of guy who likes to lay out on the beach or go swimming, and I am not the kind of guy who likes to climb the mountains. I like to bring my camera and shoot the views, and I like to spend time with my family surrounded by the best that nature has to offer. I just really like them both.

So given all of that I cannot chose one or the other. I just like ’em both. That will have to be good enough for the writing prompt folks.

This is actually the Pacific ocean, not the Atlantic, but the thought still counts.

  3. I agree! It’s impossible for me to choose. I live in Connecticut but have also lived in California – another state of extremes – so learned to love both. I like mountains because I love the beauty and love to hike. I like the beach (or water in general) because I love the heat and waves and kayaking (in a lake!).
    We were in California last week and were in the mountains for 2 days and then off to the ocean for the rest of the week (no lounging in the sun though).
