We're having a heatwave, a tropical heatwave!

With temperatures topping 90 degrees for the umpteenth day in a row, we tried to beat the heat and humidity by heading to the beach today. We went to Salisbury Beach on the North Shore and apparently we weren't the only ones with that idea... the beach was PACKED with seas and seas of people. You had to search far and wide for a place to lay your towel, but we had a fun though. We took a few refreshing dips in the ocean to keep cool. The water temp in the Atlantic is only about 60 degrees right now... it was quite chilling! We played with my new favorite beach toy - the Waboba ball! It's a small ball about the size of a hackysack and it bounces on the water. It's a lot of fun! We were playing catch, skipping it off waves, etc. I highly recommend it for all you water lovers out there! We also checked out the sandcastles on the boardwalk. Every year they have a sandcastle building contest at this beach and I will say they're nothing like the overturned bucket castles I used to build as a kid!

All in all, it was a nice relaxing day at the beach. However, we are hoping for some cooler weather to come our way. Our A/C needs a break... and I'm going to gain 20lbs if I keep eating all this ice cream! =)
