What a day at the beach . . .


Not sure anyone could ask for a more perfect day at Oakland Beach in Warwick. It's amazing that we can drive from Kiddo's home on trafficky 95 N then onto old rickety 117 in congested Warwick and end up at such a beautiful stretch of beach, rocky breakwaters and sweet eating at either Iggy's Doughboy or The Top of the Bay. Kiddo collected so many crab shells, a few smooth stones, some sea glass and I hadn't brought a big enough pail! We had to make do with a styrofoam cup from our lunch. Not sure what he enjoyed most, walking on top of the huge rocks, finding shells or being the leader of the pack at the playground! He was in his element. Called Grampa a fraidy cat when he didn't follow us up onto the rocks! What a blast. The sun was bright and hot with nary a cloud in the bright blue sky.

We've already hit 70 degrees today. We'll be leaving soon for the Brooklyn flying field where I will walk as Grampa flies. I may have to change and put on a t-shirt! I don't have to go to Groton today because middle child and husband are taking a day off. That's a good thing. I'm sure the Kiddo will enjoy being with his parents when he gets out of school today. They may try to make Wednesdays their day off from now on. Good on them. Work overload isn't good for a healthy mind, body or family.

Can't end with such a perfect note so I'll add that the Elantra was christened by a damn seagull. Dirty bird!
