We’re back! And once again I’m low on time before I have to leave for work. I guess it is the typical Monday morning thing. I’m having a hard time drumming up the motivation to get myself to go. Does that ever happen to you?
So, would you like some clues before the big Mystery Vacation Reveal?
Clue 1: There were waves. There were even surfers riding the waves. I’m assuming with the presence of surfers, I can actually upgrade my claim and say that there were indeed big waves.
Clue 2: There was a carousel. This was a rescued carousel from an old-time amusement park torn down to make way for condos. (Carousels remind me of high school freshman English class. You too?)
Clue 3: This is the view from our hotel room balcony. There was beach, pavement, and lots of eating establishments.
Clue 4: There were boogie-boarding lessons. Oh yeah, and the air was HOT and the water was like ICE!
Clue 5: Huge difference from low tide to high tide. At high tide the remaining beach area was very tiny and compact, but at low tide, it felt like it took minutes to walk down to meet the water. This was a huge beach and even walking along the beach, we never reached either end.
Clue 6: The girls stayed in the water so long that I read an entire book in 2 days — The Society of S, in case you are wondering, and it was excellent; a cross between Twilight and Special Topics in Calamity Physics.
Clue 7: We rode a ferry and saw this skyline. I actually still feel like I’m riding on the ferry and that was yesterday morning. (Does this ever happen to you?) I wish this darn computer would stop swaying back and forth.
OK, that is all the clues I have time for right now. It took about 4 hours to get there. It could have been shorter but as IHA’s usually very efficient and helpful navigator did not know where we were going, we had some rotary issue problems. (Oh wait, that could be Clue 8: Lots of rotaries!)
OK, I’m off to get ready for work, but please feel free to go ahead and guess. I think it is only LFG who knows where we went…

Hello Spincerely,
Welcome back! Well, I have not talked to LFG, but I am guessing the photo is of the city of Boston skyline. So I’m guessing that your vacation was somewhere on Cape Cod! I think that was a fantastic idea to have a mystery vacation.
What did you read on vacation?
Leslie
Welcome home I hope it was great – I know I can’t play but think it is very fun and glad that Leslie made a guess
I just finished Twilight yesterday – very addictive! Perhaps I will look into the other one that you just mentioned.
Happy Monday,
Love,
LFG
The rotaries really make me think you were enjoying the cape. Yes, No, Maybe??? I was going to say perhaps down south shore, but, eh…
It’s been a bajillion years since I saw that skyline…I was as old as the middle agent (or so). Could you be out on the Cape? There’s no water quite so cold as the north Atlantic, save perhaps, Lake Superior, even in August.
Hope it was a refreshing and relaxing time for all!
Looks like your girls enjoyed the beach! I’m going to say you went to the Cape too.
They hadn’t before, but now carousels will remind me of high school freshman English class. Which in turn will remind me of Mr. Poppinchalk getting lost hiking on the weekends. I wonder whatever happened to him.
