Fourth of July 2013

First time in New England on the Fourth of July . . . what to do, what to do. We decided to go to the beach. Turns out that pretty much everyone else did, too. All our careful research into beaches did nothing to prepare us for packed parking lots. But still, we'd gone all that way, and we could see the salt water, so we searched and searched for street parking. There weren't any parking meters, but there were lots of "resident only" parking signs. After driving around for a very long time (over half an hour, maybe as much as an hour), we finally found a signless section of road, and right by the beach, too. We slathered on the sunscreen and made our way down to the water at long last. Fourth of July beach trip? Check!
