I start getting withdrawal's from the ocean about this time. I start craving long, lazy summery days sitting in a beach chair watching the kids play in the sand and the surf. Which is why when Mike suggested we make it a beach day, I was thrilled. Of course no beach toys were thrown in the car, and we knew it would be bitter cold, but we've always wanted to see our fav. beach in the winter.
But first a stop at Weathervane for some yummy seafood lunch. Griff surprised us all by requesting lobster. It's not like we don't all love lobster, we just don't usually order it because it's so darn expensive, and I usually gravitate towards the fish and chips and Mike loves scallops. But Griff claimed he wanted to, "try something new." and lobster fit the bill. If only Grandpa Tom were with us, he LOVES lobster. Him and Griff could have enjoyed one together.
We weren't surprised the ocean looked pretty much the same, minus the crowds and crowds of people. We walked to the water, threw stones in, climbed on the rocks (some were super icy), smelled the fresh air, looked for shells, tasted sea water icicles(the kids not Mike and I). And then Mike and I climbed in the warm car while the kids played on the playground. It was a good day, and I look forward to summer.
We ended the day with dinner and of course our traditional brownies.
