August 1, 2010. Western Head, N.S. A Beach Day.

Actually, I do not love the beach, especially that fine white sand that everyone loves. It gets into everything, your hair, your towels, your food and your clothes, and also all over your body. Within five minutes of our arrival home all seven of us who spent four hours at the beach were in the shower, getting rid of the sand.

Carter's Beach is a beautiful spot and in the past, no one went there so we had the place to ourselves. Recently, articles in the national magazines have been extolling it's virtues, so today at Carter's Beach you could see other people here and there along the shore. It was not crowded by any means but we were surprised. Now the weather was beautiful and as Monday is a holiday, everyone headed out of the cities for the long weekend and ended up at the beach.

The girls loved it at the beach. They played in the water, built sand castles, walked along the shore and climbed the rocks. After our picnic lunch they stretched out on the sand on their towels trying to stay warm. When you are wet and in the breeze and a Texan, you feel cool. It was a great day at the beach for the girls. The adults enjoyed it too, but they were ready to leave.
