Second beach trip this summer

Had a great time at Crane beach with the kids. This time kids opened up very quickly to the water. The beach was wonderful, big, fairly crowded (although mostly returning crowd by the time we got there at 3pm), shallow waters, soft sand and water was pretty warm in some patches for the toddlers to run around and play in the sand. Girls were happy to play in the sand and water. Although AL who is a clean freak didnt like the mess with the sand sticking to her and kept constantly washing herself plus she had a runny nose which only got worse with the water. AG had a ball! The views were pretty good around the beach. The inner roads approaching the beach and many farms which made it lovely route to drive past. P and I really enjoy such places, its relaxing to the mind and pleasing for the eyes. Thank Goodness for the ability to appreciate finer and simple things in life.

Our friends joined us too so it was good to hang out with them, although I wish we could have spent more time with them. We tried to head to a restaurant after that but wait times were too long. We stuck around till maybe 7 and headed home, I cooked dinner, we all ate and crashed by about 11 pretty tired. The finishing touch was the lovely sunset we saw, after a longtime I saw the a complete clear orange ball of fire. I would totally recommend the beach and rate it higher than Wingersheak we went few weeks back.

Completely relaxed at home on Sunday and enjoyed the feeling of doing nothing. And now its back to work...

I enjoy such spontaneous mini trips.
