Today we took advantage of a beautiful morning to try out our Christmas gifts. This Christmas we each got an inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board. We took them over to Great Bay to try them out. Andy and Eva had no trouble at all standing up on their boards. Allison also got to a standing position. I tried it and promptly face planted, mouth wide open into Great Bay. I swallowed way too much and then spent much of the time after that in a coughing fit. That was not caught on video, but Allison caught a picture of me post dunk.
After I cleared out all the water I was able to paddle around on my knees and also in a sitting position. I think that my board will need to be inflated more the next time we go out.
I had my GoPro Max strapped to the front of my board and got some decent video that I need to process soon to see if I can get a few minutes of usable footage.
Most Mornings before things get rolling around her the cousins come over and the kids spend time together. This morning Andy was showing them some things on his iPad. He does like to share his knowledge of games or silly videos or even drawing apps with his cousins.
We’re pretty much smack dab in the middle of our Cape Cod vacation. We did go to the beach today, it was nice and not as windy as yesterday. I think we were a bit beached out though and came home after a few hours. We lasted longer than yesterday when we got wind blasted and Andy suggested we head home.
Tonight Allison and I attempted to go use one of her gift cards that she received from her students at SMSH. It was for The Glass Onion. They were full up and had no reservations. Also, I should have some better clothes with me when we go. My T-shirt from the Finest School for Witchcraft and Wizardry wasn’t gonna cut it. We then attempted to go to The flying Bridge, another gift card but it was the most full I’ve ever seen it. Not one single parking space to be found. We ended up heading over to the Mexican restaurant for dinner. It was very good. We each had a selection of tacos. I had bacon and shrimp and Allison had fish.
We will try again next week to go to the other places.
