Originally the whole family was going to go on a short day trip to this little shrine by the beach. This morning it was decided that only me and the two older kids would go. A short time later it was just Alex and me on a father/son mini road trip.
On the way, I noticed this guy afar off in a field. I had to zoom in quite a bit, but I couldn’t resist. I felt like I was driving a sleigh as I tried to stop quickly on the side of the road.
Ringing the bell.
Running through torii gates.
Yes, it’s as cold as it looks.
And windy too. I’ve never been to the beach in the snow before.
We went exploring along the beach. Lots of sand dollars, snail shells and clam shells. Most are dull, boring or broken, so it’s even better when you find one that’s intact and interesting. We still picked up few plain ones because the kids like to paint them.
After exploring for a while, Alex said he wanted to go on the “bridge.” It’s actually a wave breaker made of huge concrete blocks and stones.
So why not?
Alex says, “Take a picture of this.” So I did.
And here’s what it was like at the end of the “bridge.” I hope you feel like you were there with us.
