late summer sand and sun

Last Saturday we went to the beach. Because we only go to the beach in April or September. It would be too obvious otherwise. We went with Grammy and Poppy. It was Grammy's idea, and it was a good one! It's been so crazy and intense here that it was just what we needed. And, of course, it was not crowded, because Memorial Day switches the shore on, and Labor Day switches it off. I found a state park on one of the barrier islands of New Jersey, and it took us just under two hours to get there. It was such a perfect day. Cool breeze, warm sun. The dunes were beautiful. We took a little bike ride and played in the sand until the shadows were long.

Wait a minute, is that Island
Wait a minute, is that Island Beach State Park? It's our favoritest Shore beach! We've been there on several Septembers and it's always been warm and nice. Except that this year we thought it was too cool in the beginning of September.
Last summer we even had a wedding there, a crazy idea two of our Brazilian church friends had. I have photos in my blog, even. Anyway... I'm glad you got to go to the beach -- it was a gorgeous day on Sunday!
Yes, totally! I LOVED IT! It
Yes, totally! I LOVED IT! It is definitely the best shore location I've been to on the entire Eastern Seaboard.
When we were eating an early supper, a wedding party came out to the beach for a photo op. :)
What a nice day! Good for you
