one of my summer comings and going involved going to isle of palms beach in south carolina...and there, i checked off one of the things on my bucket list..then, about 2 weeks later on the other side of the country, i checked it off once again at church's beach in california...what is this item on the bucket list, you may ask? well, i'll tell you...surfing.

while i'm definitely no layne beachley (for those of you who don't know who i'm talking about...google can help), i think that i did pretty well, considering i was raised nowhere near a body of water large enough to surf..
and, at the very least, i was thorough..i mean, who checks something off their bucket list in both the atlantic AND pacific oceans?
