Hi fellow Ranters,
Today we said screw it and went out to have fun in the slightly chilly weather at the beach regardless of what was forecasted. It was fun!
We typically do things that aren’t exactly what others would often do. We enjoy this type of thing because it is our own little version of fun. We have been like that since we were dating and it’s what works well for us. Today was no different! We have been enjoying the beach days we’ve had lately so we had planned on going to the beach whatever the weather. Just added a little extra clothes!
For once mama is ahead of me when we were out. It could have been because she wore crocs as shoes instead of something warmer lol. We still need to get her better waterproof things for her to use. The little man was rocking his nice rain boots!
We went to this beach because we heard that you could see harbor seals hanging out on the sand. That definitely didn’t happen here but it was still a decent walk around. I’ve never been to this beach before, plum island. It’s pretty famous for people in the area but I didn’t like it too much. There was probably only 50 parking spots, where other beach areas have hundreds of parking spots. Not really interested in coming back to this one on a warm day that’s for sure. Lots of people!
We traveled to another area as well because we were told that there would be cool birds hanging out in the area before the summer started and there were too many tourists for their tastes. Found some really awesome waves so that was fun!
Sadly the birds we were looking for, puffins, were nowhere to be seen. We saw a lot of flying rats, aka seagulls and these other ocean ducks or whatever type of bird it is. It was hard to get a good look at them unfortunately.
At the place where the puffins might have been is this really beautiful lighthouse, the Nubble lighthouse. It’s a cool one but you can’t get out there to tour it which is slightly sad but it’s for the best. You can enter a raffle to spend either a night or a weekend at the lighthouse. I forget which one it is but it’s the only time the public gets to go out there.
This was actually the first place we went for the day, I arranged the pictures in a strange way but that’s okay. It’s reverse chronological order, this is first, lighthouse second and plum island last lol.
It was a fun day, even though it was pretty cold it’s always nice when we go out and spend time as a family, away from all the other stuff. We got to tour and show the little man some fun things which will be in a later couple posts but it was an enjoyable day thankfully!
