The One With Mayflower Beach

 

 

We spent some time down at the Cape and we had the pleasure of going to Mayflower Beach, on the bayside of the Cape. Normally, it would have been croweded but we picked a cool and windy day! A cold front had just passed through and the wind was whipping. The white caps were amazing, despite the fact it was low tide. In fact, it was so low that we were able to see people walking far out on the sand.

 

More interesting was  the fact that there were para-surfers using the windy conditions to surf with parasails. It was incredible to watch. And the beach was amazing!!!

The One With the Good Harbor Beach

 

 

 We went to Gloucester's Good Harbor beach today. It was a beautiful day for it. The tide was going out and the sun was shining.

 We stopped and got a little Panera before going there. Then, we spent about two hours there.

The only hiccup was the inconsistent sunscreen. It was spray Neutrogena that did not go on smoothly. We all had slight red spots as a result of the poor spraying.

The One With Good Harbor Beach

 

 

Today, we decided to do something a little different. We actually decided to have a Beach Day.

Emmie has wanted to go to a Gloucester Beach for the past few years - mainly as a way to de stress - so we decided to do that today. First, when I think of North Shore beaches, I often think of ones that are rocky. But this one had the sand found like most Cape Cod beaches. It also had a small island to the left of the beach....one I would have loved to explore when I was a kid. The beach was wide, which was amazing. And you were allowed to play with different balls (we brought a football) on the beach. Amazing!!!

We spent about two hours there. We checked out the water - it was cold. Someone was surfing....which for the first time ever looked interesting to me. And the lifeguards were on the beach working on different things (including moving a large log).

After our stay, Kiff got the most expensive smoothie ever. We also went to Essex Seafood and got clam strips (well, I got chicken fingers). What a great way to end the day.
