Beach Day Thunder

Its August already! We are still waiting for some good beach days. Every time we seem to plan a beach excursion there are thunderstorms. A couple weeks back we went to Revere Beach and the sky started to get dark and as we packed up and headed off hail started to fall! We were trapped under some trees with a bunch of other beachgoers until it finally ended. The little kids had THE saddest faces ever. Then of course we headed back to the sand sculpture festival to have ice cream :) The sand sculptures did not look at all different following the storm, those things are tough. Boston hasn't really hit 95+ temperatures that I require for beach weather.

We did make it out to Vegas for a little trip to take a look at all the parks out there. We saw red rock canyon and fire valley and drove a long winding road down towards the Hoover Dam before heading back to Vegas. So HOT. But dry hot so not as much perspiration as the humid hot of Boston. The beach is always cooler than the city, but the only beach in Vegas is for hotel guests only :P We did manage to find a cool spring fed swimming hole on the winding road but it had a warning about bacteria so we just dipped our toes.

I think some VT mountains are in our future, looking at the map to figure out where it isn't thunderstorming - since it seems to always be thunderstorming!

Etsy is having some issues with processing orders so I had to disable the checkout system - That means manual PayPal invoices only. Keeping an eye on that and hopefully they fix all their WorldPay issues so I can start posting new items!
