Explorer

Without trying to sound like a broken record, I really do love the beach during fall. Almost even more so than during the summer. This trip, Boo and I explored a completely different section of our usual beach. A spot we’ve never been to.  It’s nearly impossible to get to during the summer, because there are, like, 10 parking spots total. You have to get there practically at sunrise to get a spot :/. But this time of year? no problem.

I absolutely loved this section. It had a much more secluded feel. And in addition to a nice stretch of open beach, it had this fantastic rocky area that we spent almost all of our time exploring. Boo loved all of the little snails clinging to the rocks, and I was fascinated with the amount of different patterns in the sand I found. 

Another perfect beach day. 

p.s - Thank you all for your condolences about my grandpa. It’s been a really strange week, for sure. But you all are too sweet :).

Topsfield Fair

It was a rainy, cold, and at one point - powerless day at the fair last weekend. But its a yearly tradition, and I couldn’t not go this year. I would’ve had a big sad face. So we grabbed our umbrellas and headed out to Topsfield. Even with the rain, we gobbled down all our favorite foods (seriously the best part of any fair), the animals were still all smiles, and the game people still hassled us to spend our money. 

Aaaaah I love the fair :)
