Revere Beach

We recently went out to the beach, and we all had a wonderful time! It's been hard for us to truly enjoy the beaches here beacause it's hard to find where the good ones are, and many of them are private or run by the cities--some beaches charge $25 just to park there! Ridiculous. Plus, we're used to fabulous Oregon beaches. So, we went to Revere Beach, which is in Boston, and everyone says is dirty. We just wanted to go to the beach.


It was wonderful. We must have picked the perfect day to go! We went on a Monday, so it wasn't crowded at all, and it was 80 degrees and sunny. Beautiful!

Evan loved playing in the sand, naturally, and Mike and I loved laying in the sun. I don't believe i've ever been to a beach where you could actually lay in the sun and be warm and toasty.
The water wasn't warm, but it wasn't numbingly cold either, so we considered that a plus. Evan definitely enjoyed splashing in the water. It was such an enjoyable day. Extra bonuses: free parking and clean bathrooms. Plus, we got to eat lobster rolls.

This only took us about 30 minutes to get to from our house. There are so many day trips to take around here, and we've been really lucky to be able to live here. Not that we want to stay here much longer...we're getting ready to move on! Now if only Mike could get his orders...waiting patiently!

LOBSTER ROLLS!!! And you want to move WHY? Just kidding. Looks like a fantastic day, such beautiful buildings in the baackground, life doesn't get much better than that. And so close!! Kinda like a private beach bizzionaires pay so much for. I'm glad team Smith is Going and creating priceless memories. Ohhh that I could be there, too. JO

Levi took one look at your pictures and told me that Evan had an "excavator" and was playing in the "agua." I think he's jealous. Hope you're doing well. Keep posting. ---camille
