For our last day here at the shore, we decided to go to the beach in Avalon. A big difference that I noticed right away was that there were many many more cars heading for the beach than during the week. We stopped at the Acme grocery store to pick up snacks for the beach.
Once we got to Avalon, we had a tough time finding a parking spot since it’s the weekend but we did get lucky. It was another strenuous day at the beach. The beach was packed but by about 4pm, it starts to thin out.
We wanted to have dinner at the campsite so we picked up Mexican from Tortilla Flats. If it wasn’t for the internet, we never would have found this place. The food was fresh and really tasty.
Tonight is Halloween at the campground, so after dinner we grabbed our cameras and started walking around the campground. You can’t imagine the decorating that some families do for tonight. There are lots of lights, flags, statues, blow-ups, etc. There were two families that went all out. The first family had creepy people walking around their site … for example Michael Myers, along with creatures hanging from trees, bats flying overheard on strings, and smoke rising from the tombstones. The second family had a haunted house complete with a coffin, tent filled with smoke that the kids had to walk through, and a graveyard. We thought that maybe we should give out candy but that thought quickly left us when we learned that over 1000 kids had signed up. Our neighbors told us that you have to beware when you take the tram ride on Halloween night, since it’s prone to “break down”, and then freaky people come out of the woods to scare the daylights out of everyone!
Once we got back from our walk, we enjoyed our last campfire with a batch of smores … yummy.
