Southwick Beach State Park - Sept.17-21, 2012

We left Pittsford early on Monday because it was a sunny day and we wanted to get there and go to the beach.  Just after Central Square exit off Route 81, Mike pulled over and I got into the driver's seat and drove for the next 20 miles.  It was a little scary, but I did ok.  I guess we are going to do this more often so I will build up my confidence and get used to it. We got there and set up, ate lunch and went to the beach.  The beach was very, very wide with hard pack sand; it was great.  Tues. it rained all day so we played cards, read, and worked on computers.  When we went to bed the wind was blowing really, really hard.  The Weather Channel said 20/30 mph winds with gusts up to 45 mph.  Didn't get much sleep cause so windy and noisy.  Wed. it was blue sky and sun but cool. In the morning the guy from last year in his green beach buggy was on the beach.  He is neat to watch because he uses a parachute type apparatus to get his buggy to move.  We took a bike ride down the beach because of the wide pack sand; it was easy.  We came back and read outside the RV in the sun; it was nice there.  We had a fire over at Claude and Janet's site.  They were the only couple there from the ones we met in June.  Thurs. we woke up to 49 degrees, brrr cold. It was sunny but cool outside.  We took another bike ride on the beach and went down the other direction.  When we started back there was quite a bit of wind, so we ended up walking our bikes most of the way back to the RV.  While on the beach there was a kiteboarder out in the lake.  It was fun watching him jump the waves and go so fast. We spent the rest of the afternoon reading outside our RV in the sun.  Claude and Janet came over and joined us at our campfire.  On Friday we got ready and headed for home around 11:30.  Another great time at Southwick Beach.
