Today we hit the beach in Gloucester again—this time we got into Good Harbor. Monday we ran into some holiday traffic, so we got shut out and ended up at Long Beach. Long Beach is great, but Good Harbor is just a little nicer in most ways: bigger, prettier, has a snack bar and bathrooms on the beach, and costs $5 less to park. You have to drive right by Good Harbor to get to Long Beach, so we always try there first.
We raced home in order to catch the second half of the Spain-Germany World Cup match. (Yay, Spain!) It was just as well, because Pete and Julie both got a little sunburnt even though we reapplied their sunblock.
While Steph is at camp, we are trying to get our fill of everything she hates, so tonight we headed out to Redbones for some ribs. (Yes, she hates ribs. She is definitely our pickiest eater.) We pigged out (ha ha), and I washed my ribs down with a Porkslap Pale Ale. For dessert, the kids split a White Trash Sundae, which is a bunch of ice cream sandwiches chopped up and topped with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. What could be bad?
Speaking of Steph, we get a letter or two from her every day, and I can tell you with nearly absolute certainty that camp is AWESOME.
K -- I love hearing about your New England summer! Mountains are great (Denver) but I sure miss the ocean... All my best to you and your family!
