What to do on a February vacation day? Go to the beach!

Another relatively warm February day. And although it was a vacation day for most, it was just another typical day off for us. But I really wanted to get out and do something fun. Snowman wasn't up for skiing, and wanted to take it easy. So I suggested a run at Morse Mountain. In summer, the walk to up and over Morse Mountain out to Seawall Beach is busy. It's basically a walk on an old paved road, so it gets lots of traffic. We figured we'd have the place to ourselves today. So, imagine our surprise when we pulled up to a lot with 6 other cars! Guess everyone else had the same idea.

The way was a bit icy and we took our time, stopping to take photos along the way and enjoying the afternoon.




The route to the beach was a nice wander through the woods with some nice views out onto the marshy lowlands before we reached the beach. The late afternoon light was gorgeous and it was low tide - perfect for a little beach running!
