A day at the beach

Saturday we went to Ogunquit, Maine for the day. It is a quaint little town, although it's pretty tourist oriented, it's really beautiful. It's right on the Atlantic ocean, and has a walkway along one of the cliffs. The waves crashing on the rocky shore was mesmerizing, and there were fishing boats all up and down the coast. The day was perfect, about 67 degrees with a slight wind.

We took Roo, Heather's Yorkie, and he was in hog heaven, running around. He ran into the surf long enough to realize how cold it was! The flowers are just starting to bloom, the were puffy clouds drifting by as we walked along the cliff and down to the ocean. We saw surfers in full wetsuits hitting the waves, there was even a guy standing on a board with a paddle, hadn't seen that before. It is't the California surf, but there was enough curl to have a good, if short, ride.

We had lobster for dinner, right on the dock at a local eatery. There were 3 red tugboats floating right out the window as we ate. The tide was flowing in, speeding up the causeway at our feet. I was surprised how fast it came in, maybe that's why the pace is so much faster in the northeast...

Sunday it was cloudy and rainy, which should last the rest of the week. I'm so glad we went on the one clear day! I took Heather and Jared birthday shopping while I was here, and the lobster dinner was for their bday too, so although I leave the day before Jared's birthday, I already got it covered.
