Ashley's Last Day-- At the Beach!
We got to the beaches of West Haven more quickly and easily than expected this a.m., despite an extra loop getting out of New Haven. After a nice drive along the beach, and late breakfast at the Dunkin' D (of which there seem to be MANY in Connecticut), we settled on a beach near Savin Rock to watch gulls, start a seaweed and shell collection (Sally), and just while away the day.
If you note, to the left of the photo, there's a little stretch of open water. And further left, an island-- the famous Savin Rock. We noticed people wading out to it, so naturally we wanted to as well!
Here's Ashley wading in the Atlantic, the real one... or at least the Long Island Sound facsimile thereof.
Of course, by the time we got there, the tide had receded somewhat, leaving a narrow spit of dry land to walk out on.
And here's Ashley on the rocks, looking back at shore. A "last day in the East" batch of photos for Mom and Dad!

Hi Sally,
Nice job with the photos and writing. Glad to see Ashley finally made it to the Atlantic. I got to go because it is thundering and maybe even some rain tonite.
Home alone.
I trust by the time you read this, Ashley will be safely in her own bed at home (with Max) and that the aunt/niece thing will only just be the beginning. Or are you both ready for a little separation?
Ashley, I know Sally misses you very much already!
Sally, I'll keep watching the blog even though that human intersst (and scale) factor has departed.
So was the water warm?
HUgs, me
