Summer: Cape May: Wednesday 7-31-24

Another double-length beach day. Greta and I went on a three-mile bike ride this morning on the boardwalk. We headed to the beach around 10:30, and the kids once again used their skim boards. These are incredibly dangerous and, indeed, Lucia had a bad fall today and really bruised her hip. But the kids do enjoy using them.

We were a little beached out today: Lucia went back to the house early because of her painful bruise and then got stung three times by bees at the end of the walkway; Greta, for her part, has broken out in a heat rash all over her body. She is claiming she's a vampire and is allergic to the sun.

Andrew, Greta, and I rode our bikes out to Sunset Beach later in the afternoon and met the others there. It was too high tide to do much sifting for Cape May diamonds, sadly. On the way home we stopped at CVS for various ointments for bee stings and skin irritations.

Molly and Jeremy went out tonight to procure tacos for dinner from El Pueblo Taqueria, which were delicious. Then we played Code Names. 

Only two days left. We need more beach time.
