Atypical Beach Days
Hi fellow Ranters,
Today we said screw it and went out to have fun in the slightly chilly weather at the beach regardless of what was forecasted. It was fun!
Against the Grain
We typically do things that aren’t exactly what others would often do. We enjoy this type of thing because it is our own little version of fun. We have been like that since we were dating and it’s what works well for us. Today was no different! We have been enjoying the beach days we’ve had lately so we had planned on going to the beach whatever the weather. Just added a little extra clothes!
For once mama is ahead of me when we were out. It could have been because she wore crocs as shoes instead of something warmer lol. We still need to get her better waterproof things for her to use. The little man was rocking his nice rain boots!
We went to this beach because we heard that you could see harbor seals hanging out on the sand. That definitely didn’t happen here but it was still a decent walk around. I’ve never been to this beach before, plum island. It’s pretty famous for people in the area but I didn’t like it too much. There was probably only 50 parking spots, where other beach areas have hundreds of parking spots. Not really interested in coming back to this one on a warm day that’s for sure. Lots of people!
We traveled to another area as well because we were told that there would be cool birds hanging out in the area before the summer started and there were too many tourists for their tastes. Found some really awesome waves so that was fun!
Sadly the birds we were looking for, puffins, were nowhere to be seen. We saw a lot of flying rats, aka seagulls and these other ocean ducks or whatever type of bird it is. It was hard to get a good look at them unfortunately.
At the place where the puffins might have been is this really beautiful lighthouse, the Nubble lighthouse. It’s a cool one but you can’t get out there to tour it which is slightly sad but it’s for the best. You can enter a raffle to spend either a night or a weekend at the lighthouse. I forget which one it is but it’s the only time the public gets to go out there.
This was actually the first place we went for the day, I arranged the pictures in a strange way but that’s okay. It’s reverse chronological order, this is first, lighthouse second and plum island last lol.
It was a fun day, even though it was pretty cold it’s always nice when we go out and spend time as a family, away from all the other stuff. We got to tour and show the little man some fun things which will be in a later couple posts but it was an enjoyable day thankfully!

I like the lighthouse and the waves 😊, would have been nice to spot some seals and puffins, maybe next time
Thanks for checking it out man!
The lighthouse is beautiful indeed and the waves were awesome. Our son wasn't as interested in the waves as we were lol we wanted to hang out and watch them for longer. All good though! Still got outside that’s what’s important
Looks like fun - I like the Spidey jacket too! Great taste!
Haha thanks, my wife found that on a deal it's an awesome rain jacket. It's really warm too so it's even better, some are really thin!

Love your son's Spiderman jacket man haha! Used to have one when I was a kid too!
I really enjoy watching waves crushing on rocks too! Well, that's how I spend most of my time when I go camping on Summer! You guys should organize a trip to Greece this summer.
Everything's ridiculously cheap thanks to covid and I bet you're gona have tons of fun!
Thanks dude it's an awesome and really warm rain jacket, I'm glad my wife found it! He likes Spider-Man too which makes it even more fun for him.
The waves crashing on the rocks is one of my favorite sounds, we stayed in a hotel once where you could hear it and it’s the most relaxing sound to fall asleep to!
We would like to organize a trip to Greece and Italy but we are trying to figure out the nonsense they are trying to make people go through to do it. We refuse to get these digital passports.
Hi @cmplxty....Good article. It is always a good idea to go for a walk and share with the family, this way you strengthen family ties and have nice memories. Being in contact with nature for me is always the best option, the photos you show are all beautiful. It was definitely a great family experience, thank you for sharing this content.
Thank you for taking a few moments to stop by and check it out! I appreciate it! :D
Getting out in nature, in the fresh air and being more connected to the ground, is always a good thing in my opinion. We don't get to do it enough sometimes, so we totally take advantage of it when we do!
A walk on the beach is always a nice walk no matter what the weather . Good photos ☺️
Thanks for checking it out, I completely agree! The beach is a wonderful place to be!
