Baking in the sun

We got up and decided that we would spend part of the day at the beach.  The question was which beach, since there are plenty to choose from on Cape Cod.  We asked Terri and she suggested Craigville Beach, which was only about 20 minutes away.  We loaded up the car with a couple of borrowed beach chairs, umbrella, beach blanket, towels, cooler, books and suntan lotion and got on our way.

We got to the beach and found ourselves a spot.  The beach was busy but because it’s so big, it didn’t seem crowded.  We spent the afternoon relaxing, swimming and reading Harry Potter.  The water wasn’t quite as cold as expected, and the waves were great.  Terri advised us that the best ice cream on the island was at the Four Seas which is in Centerville.  After a tiring day on the beach, we picked up some yummy ice cream before heading to the hotel.

After a little break, we decided that to visit the Barnstable County Fair.  Unfortunately it took us 1-1/2 hours to get there, due to traffic, when normally it would take 20 minutes.  The fair was like the Paris Fair but the number of people rivalled that of the CNE.  I swear there were 50,000 people at the demolition derby … I think everyone on The Cape was there.  We walked around, ate some junk food, tried to watch the demolition derby, and got lots of photos of the farm animals, who were quite vocal while waiting for their dinner.  It was a good fair, but far busier than we expected.
