Weekend In Westport

After our super fun time at Jump Planet, we went home, packed up the car, picked up Daddy and we were on our way to the beach!

This is the Westport Light. Yes, it is in the woods. 100 years ago the light was on the ocean, but with the building of the jetty, building up silt, the lighthouse is now a light in the woods.

Yes, it was over 100 degrees on our way down, but when we got to the beach it was foggy and just barely 60. We did not think the fog was promising.

The view from our hotel room.

Watching the 'lympics with Daddy in the hotel room. It was a small room, but it met our needs.

Some beauty shots of Westport. We woke up to still foggy conditions, but it was burning off. It looked like it will be a good day.

Walking with Dad.

Looking at the water. There were fisherman trying to get crab and one of them caught a baby shark. He showed Lon before he threw it back in.

We got the stroller to walk into town (it was not far). Lon got a doughnut, it was yummy. We looked at the community art show. There were some pretty nice things! Not much in fabric, alot of beads, and glass. We did not see anything we really wanted to take home, with the exception of a wooden lighthouse for the end of the driveway, but it was way too big to fit in the car. (Well, I did have a fleeting thought of leaving the stroller or having it in Lon's lap, but it was only a fleeting thought)

This was after Lon had his hot dog for lunch, not right after his doughnut. Looking at art booths is tough work!

After making the boys look at every single art booth, twice, we went to the beach. Lon was thrilled. We were there for over four hours. It was in the middle 60s with a breeze. Lon got some sun, Daddy got sunburned and even though Mommy forgot sunscreen on everyone, Mom still has no color.

This bucket of rocks is heavy. I think Lon will have a serious interest in geology. Rocks are very fun, and we had to take some home. Mommy was collecting rocks on the beach too. Lon found a discarded pringles can, and we filled that up with pretty little rocks.

Lon also finds digging holes very fun. Which it really is.

Lon got a hold of my camera and took this photo.

This beach stuff can be serious business.

A hug from Mom.

Digging with Dad!

I think I will keep digging!

Where did he go?

There he is! Yes, he is standing up in the hole.

After we were done at the beach, we went back, shook all the sand out of us and got ready to go get something to eat. We saw a total of 5 deer on the way to the restaurant.

We went to the Original House of Pizza for dinner. It was not bad pizza. Lon had fun. (Mommy and Daddy are looking forward to Illianos pizza in CT) Lon did not stay up to watch the 'lympics. He was very tired.

The next morning, Sunday, we got everything packed up and went to breakfast at the Fogcutter, across from the lighthouse of the woods. Breakfast was good. Lon had a pancake with ears!

I am looking for the beach.

Yeah! We found it!

The tide was going out, we found a starfish. We also found lots more rocks.

It was still foggy. Lon was on the beach having fun.

I am bringing you a rock Mom! Did you see the waves almost catch me? Lon was not so sure that going back home was a good idea. He wanted to stay at the beach. Once we told him he had 5 minutes left, he was good. We had fun in Westport. The main thing is that Lon got to spend time at the beach.
