Short Vacation in Hampton Beach

Pat had a nice idea to take us on a vacation to Hampton Beach, NH over Labor Day weekend. After working all summer on our full time jobs and on our small weekend craft show business, we were ready for a break.



There were some great body surfing waves. The water temperature seemed to get warmer each day. The water was extremely clear on Friday, Saturday and Sunday - to the point where you could see your feet at waist deep. Monday, the surf was loaded with seaweed from the pickup in the wind.





There were some interesting bodies to observe also. Pat picked out the girls for me and I picked out the guy for her. Digital cameras can be dangerous.

I found this very cool sand dollar in the surf and presented it to my lover.

There were some very interesting things to see and places to eat along Ocean Boulevard. Too bad we were only there 3 days, not alot of time to try 20 flavors of fried dough. The deep fried twinkie was said to be "most excellent" by another lodger at the Beach View. The "Dippin Dots" sign can only be seen from this view from the Beach View porch.




This is an old and closed grouping of summer cabins slated for demolition and conversion of the site to beach condos in the next year or so. Pat liked this one the best!

We revisited a restaurant we went to last night to make sure that we saw what we thought we saw. Can you believe this!!! WTF!!! We were told to stop dancing because they didn't have a "dancing permit."

At least not all New Hampshire laws are as stupid as the "dancing permit." Their priorities are in the right place concerning lobsters.

Pat and I found a lemonade stand on one of our walks and, as always, we stopped and assumed our customer roles.

This is a very interesting house on the way north from Hampton Beach on the left. They used grinding stone wheels above the windows.

The boat says it all about vacations.
