Day 2 of One Big Holiday — April 4th — started early. I ordered breakfast through DoorDash, and before long, we were hauling ourselves and all our beach gear out to the sand. Luckily, with an oceanfront condo, we could still see our place from our beach chairs.

The weather wasn’t exactly perfect — mostly cloudy with a steady salt spray that clung to everything — but we made the best of it. At one point, a few of us wandered down the beach to check out the One Big Holiday sticker exchange, and I walked away with some great finds after trading a few of my own.

Back at our chairs, the mood was light, and I floated the idea of having pizza delivered directly to the beach. I found a good place online and placed the order — though they wouldn’t deliver to the beach itself, so I made a plan. When I got the notification, I hiked back up to the condo building, and wouldn’t you know it — as I walked into the lobby, the delivery guy walked in, too. I grabbed the pizzas, spun around, and was back at our chairs in under five minutes. Everyone was impressed — and amused — by the lightning-fast turnaround.

We ate, we laughed, we relaxed. It was one of those afternoons that makes you grateful for good friends, good food, and shared music ahead.

Eventually, it was time to head back up, clean up, and get ready for the night’s festivities. For the evening, I went full tropical-retirement-chic: white linen pants, loafers, and a bright yellow button-down shirt covered in black cats. I thought I looked sharp — and honestly, I still do.

The show itself was stellar. My Morning Jacket never disappoints, and that night was no exception. The performance was electric, but as always seems to happen with these moments — just as it was getting going, it was suddenly over. Another unforgettable day wrapped up, and another chapter added to the OBH memory bank.
