Old Lyme Beach

Last Friday kinda last minute my friend Julie invited us to drive to Ct. and go to the beach. So we got ready really quick and drove an hour and a 1/2 to go to the beach. It was the perfect day to go. When we first got there it was still a little foggy but it cleared up fast and was around 70 or more degrees. This was my first time to the beach on the east coast so a couple things surprised me, how cold the water was ( seriously colder than any beach I've ever been to), there were no waves ( only at the shore line which were never higher than Alexa's mid calf) and the scenery around the beach ( it wasn't stuffed w/ a bunch of buildings or homes) and not too many people.
Julie has a 2 1/2 little boy, Aiden who Alexa loves playing w/. Who was so funny as soon as we decided where we were going to settle we look back and Aiden had stopped to play w/ a group of all (adult) boys. We got him to join us again. But he kept walking toward all the boys. Then this guy behind us and girlfriend started playing w/ the kids. It was really funny though Aiden wouldn't play w/ the girl at all. I think he was in need of a boy friend.
Anyway it was a great day sitting and relaxing at the beach. The girls loved being there and free to run around. Alexa even wanted to play in the water, but it was too cold for Charlie. I think the best part was that there wasn't a lot of distance between where we were sitting and the water, and since there were no waves, Alex could run to the water and the sand freely w/ no worries.

The waves looked big in the above pic but this is how high they were compared to Alex

They all passed out on the way home.
