Fire Island

After the great swim, we stayed on Fire Island for the better part of the day. At a little place called Sailor's Haven, we walked through Sunken Forest to make our way to the other side of the island.
The boardwalk led us through the trees and dumped us into the beach.

There were HUGE clams shells everywhere.

So Chris figured he should make out with one.

We even braved the waves; and the water was beautiful!

The following day, on our way back home we stopped by New York City to see if we could catch a show. It was raining and there were no matinees, so we left almost as soon as we got there. NYC is great - a wonderful reminder that we never want to live in a big city. After frustrating ourselves trying to find our way out, the should-be 3 1/2 hour drive home turned into a 6 hour bumper to bumper ride. Awesome.

Moral of the story: Never drive north of NYC on a friday afternoon.
