A Great Day at the Beach

I had the best day ever a few days ago. This past Saturday, my husband and I took our 11 year old son to a beach on Lake Huron to enjoy an end-of-summer outing. None of us had ever been there before and had heard it was a great spot but weren't really sure. It turned out to be perfect. We visited a conservation area because we hoped it would be more private and secluded than the main beach in the downtown area. And it was. We paid to get into the park but it was worth it; we had a beautiful beach area all to ourselves. There were tall grasses separating the water and sand from the forest area. We spread out towels and our picnic basket, took our pails and shovels and started working on building the biggest sand castle ever. My son and I splashed in the waves while my husband napped on a towel on the beach. Occasionally a couple people would come by with their dogs and play in the water but mostly we had this little area of the beach to ourselves. Eventually we packed up and drove into the nearby little town for dinner. We sat out on the patio of a restaurant on the beach, ate nachos and burgers, and watched the sunset.
