Most of My Days are Spent Just Following My Nose September 18, 2009

Most of the time, I just follow my nose.  Instead of taking the regular route home from anywhere, I take any route in the general direction of my home just to see where my nose takes me.  This is basically how I discover any new city, and where I find new friends.

After we visited the Martin Harris farm last week, we decided to head in the opposite direction of our house just so we could see what was on the other side of the grass, so to speak.

We ended up here:

A beautiful park on Lake Ontario.  The kids loved it.  We loved it.

We decided to go back the following day . . .

We heard there was a beach, with real sand and real water.  :)

And, it had a lighthouse!  We were sold.

Hannah LOVED the playground in the sand. LOVED IT.

Dallin hated the sand. . . HATED IT.  (We’re not worried, Hannah hated the sand too and she lived on a Caribbean island when she was his age!)

This is Sodus Point, New York.  The lake is known as Lake Ontario.  :)

We had to check out the lighthouse, of course.

Hannah was impressed.

We plan to hit this beach one more time before we leave this beautiful place in just a few short days!
