It's Hot

The east coast is currently experiencing a heat wave. We have air conditioning, so we're not suffering terribly. Yesterday we went to the beach, along with a million other people. And it was a holiday, so it was more crowded than usual. It was okay until about noon, when it got very, very crowded. When the walk to the water means having to step on other people's towels, you know it's time to leave.

But we liked this beach a lot...the sand was fine and the water was clear with no seaweed or rocks. A couple of big fish swam by, but that's it. Kind of cool, actually. Nice waves, too. I think we'll return to this beach again. It had a family vibe, and they appeared to be strict about enforcing the rules. Even though I have teenagers, I don't necessarily want to spend lots of time with other people's (badly behaved) teenagers.
