We found out that today, Monday, August 11th, is a state holiday for Rhode Island (observance of V-Day). That meant the beaches on the east side of the island - the beaches within walking distance of the ferry docks - would probably be busy. Since we had our own car on the island, we decided to drive as far from the ferry docks as we could. That took us to West Beach. All day, the beach looked like the picture below, with nobody else there. (Mission accomplished in avoiding the crowds!)
The girls were so happy to have an entire day at the beach.
It's what they love to do - hang out at the beach all day. Literally. We were at West Beach for over six hours today.
We saw several beach birds, including this fascinating egret.
In between building things in the sand and eating snacks (and lunch), the girls liked walking around the beach, looking for shells and rocks.
Or doing gymnastics in the soft sand.
Or finding dead crabs.
Or planting the little sister in the sand. All in all, it was a fun, secluded day.
