日本海 🌊 ☀️

Nihonkai, "Sea of Japan."

---

Last night my wife and son and I had planned on going to the beach for a quick swim after I finished work. On the way back home, though, to get our swimsuits, my son passed out in the air-conditioned car for his afternoon nap.

When he realized after waking up that it would soon be getting dark, and I told him he had fallen asleep, so we would have to go another time, he began to cry. I felt sorry for him. I looked at the sky and said, Well, maybe if we hurry we'll be able to make it, and get a quick swim in.

We zipped back home and I zipped upstairs, grabbed our swimsuits and rushed out the door. We were on our way. We made it just in time for a nice 20 minute swim, and caught a beautiful sunset over the Sea of Japan, as well. Good stuff.
