Day 12 of our June 2008 vacation


We drove from French Creek State Park in PA to Cheesequake State Park in NJ.

Then we drove to the closest public beach, we found out there was a free concert on the beach that evening, weather permitting. As we drove into the parking lot at the beach, they were cancelling the concert due to the bad weather that was visibly on its way. The kids and I ran out and played along the edge of the water for a few minutes taking some pictures of the ominous clouds before heading back to the car, just as the wind picked up and sandblasted us as we headed back to the car. We ate our picnic in the car as other folks drove out of the parking lot watching the lightning and rain and dark clouds continue to pass out to sea. After we were done with our picnic, the rain was now a sprinkle, so the kids went back out to play, while I napped in the driver's seat, and Amy watched the kids from the passenger seat. They came back wet, cold and sandy, but had a great time.
