Vacationing

Every summer we go on vacation for about 2 weeks to visit family. Today we took Ivy to the beach. 


It is unfortunate that this time, the seaweed is so bad there is no real beach to walk along or build sandcastles. This area of the beach is no regularly cleaned up. 


So we walked on a nature boardwalk. This was a major feature in my childhood. When I was in elementary school, the 4th grade classes took a field trip to this beach and walked the boardwalk around this marsh. 


A recent hurricane destroyed every feature of this beach/state park - including the boardwalk. It is all very slowly being rebuilt. 


Our nature walk only included blue crabs and a few bird species. My husband saw a young alligator but it hid before I got to see it. 


Best shot of the day here!
