Day 83 – State Park

OMG this is the first day I haven’t needed a coat in months! It is a bright, beautiful but SUPER windy day. The gusts have been at times over 40 miles/hr. But when we woke up we immediately made plans to go spend some of our day at the Brenton State Park. It is famous for being the place where people fly their kites- not just kites….huge, massive, crazy kites.

They have a kite festival in July that we are sure to go to. But today we wanted to just go see if anyone was flying their kites and whether they were or not, we wanted to go walk all the nooks and crannies of the ocean side park- and that’s just what we did. Btw, it was just far too windy for anyone to have their kites out so I’ll have to do this again and be sure to include pics of the amount of kite fliers- because I have NEVER seen anything like it. It’s quite a sight and a great vibe to be a part of.  
Anyhow, something pretty amazing happened when we were out and about walking around. For 12 years I have been looking for a pink rock and have never found one…until today. We have looked at beaches all over the Caribbean, Mexico, and US beaches on the west, south and east coasts. We have found pink shells but never a pink rock (weird right?!?!). I mentioned to Vinny the first time we went to a beach together 12 years ago that I had never found one and it’s been his mission of sorts since then. Today was his day. As we were walking around a small little inlet amongst some random large rocks, he shouted “OMG Sarah- I found your rock! I told you I would find it one day and here it is.” He gave it to me and I felt so incredibly special that he has remembered that all these years. We even found a rock that was the shape of a heart. Seems like a small thing, but it was an awesome find and truly made my day!!
So, after we got home we had a late lunch and played games as a family with our deck sliders open for the first time this year…ahhhh! So now we are getting ready to cook together and create a Mexican fiesta night. Today was a great day.
