Beach

We decided today should be a beach day. After all, we need to take advantage of the beach being an hour away instead of 5! So, it was off to Hammonasset we went!  Since we were there by 9:30...we had the beach almost to ourselves for a while.

We dug a hole, made a few sandcastles, found sea glass and shells, ate our lunches at 10:30...and then...the fun began. We walked out to the jetty, and then went to explore the tide pools at the point.

It is such a different coastline than the gulf coast in AL. I forget how rocky the coast is here. 

The best part was finding hundreds of moon snails stuck to the rocks. And...we tried to sit still and look closely at the little tide pools to see if we could find any critters. We found tiny crabs and snails. They loved pulling the snails off the rocks :-)

Savannah also liked prying mussels off the rocks. I should have put them in the cooler and cooked them up tonight!

Gage loved climbing on the rocks. 

And the driftwood.

And I love these marshes...we saw so many white egrets, ternes, and herons walking around as we wound down to Meig's Point.
