In a nice twist, we both had the day off and got to enjoy the day together. It consisted of sleeping in late, going to the gym and relaxing on the beach. Sleeping in was a treat and we both enjoyed a nice work out. In the afternoon, we took off to Nahant to take in the wonderful beaches we had heard were there. After some searching, we found a parking spot kind of close to the beach and grabbed out stuff from the trunk. This included beach towels, more sun screen, cards, a sand castle bucket and water.
We left the bag on the sand and headed towards the water. I was a little nervous about it being too cold so I carefully waded into the water. My husband was much more adventurous, went out deeper into the water and sat down to get acclimated... Luckily for me the water wasn't too cold. We waded out until the water same to our waist and enjoyed the little waves and took in the scenes. There were kids of all ages enjoying the water, sun and sand. Out much farther many boats were parked with fishermen. There was also lots of glorious sunshine!!!
After coming out of the water we attempted to build a sand castle. It didn't work out his time because the sand was too wet, but hopefully another time this summer we'll make a good one. Only next time I hope to avoid hermit crabs. On this beach they were all very small and very populous. I would be digging in the sand only to feel something wiggle beneath my finger tips. Shuddered again at the thought of that feeling.
Abandoning our pitiful sand castle, we explored the attractive shells and fascinating rocks. We found many exciting examples and decided to take some home. (We want to make an arrangement with them, and when we do I'll post a pic.)
To finish off our beach trip we played uno and soaked up some rays. Overall it was a wonderful day and relaxing break.
