Yes indeed. That is the ocean. In the backyard of the house. How sweet is that!?! We saw lots of surfers out there, but never swam there ourselves because it was too rocky. A breathtaking view nonetheless though.
This, to the right, is the Point Judith lighthouse. A stunning sight to see from our deck, regardless of its obsolete-ness. Apparently it was blocked off by Homeland Security. That according to my teenaged brother.
I burned like a lobster on this trip, but at least I got rid of my farmers tan! Later my skin started peeling, and along with the bug bites I got at Meg's Gramma (hereafter known as Deedo)'s house, I looked like I had leprosy. That, along with a healthy pounding from the ocean, produced quotes such as
"My freakin' leprosy hurts"
And other equally wise sounding comments. After my week with my family was done, I met up with Meg, Haley and Mary, and stayed another 5 days. Here we went in the ocean, Mary lost a frisbee (among other things) in the ocean, Deedo's dock shook and then collapsed like the Tacoma Narrows when the 10 pound Meg ran across it.

If you haven't noticed, I'm prone to exxageration. We were never in any real danger (I know you were worried!) We were above about 3 feet of water. Anyway, Meg had to rescue the three of us that were stranded with a little inner tube -we really did not want to get wet (except Haley, who was to the point of dropping her pants and swimming to shore when Meg got back).
We also went to a candy store, mini golfing, and sightseeing. We played a lot of games. Overall, the trip can be summed up in one word. AWESOME.
I'll leave you with a few words of wisdom from the trip:
"You can ride a whole bunch of birds if you tie them together. Seagull?
Seagull!! The seagulls like carried the peach through the arctic. It can carry me!!" ~Mary
