Sun and Sand at the Beach

Today, I went with my nieces Rachel, Jen and her husband Kevin to Sandbanks in Picton. We laid on the beach and soaked up the rays while we slept, read or watched the kiddies playing near us. We went in the water a couple of times and the water was really cold at first, then you get used to the temperature while swimming around and finding warm spots. We stopped on our way back for some food: pogo for me, small fries for Rachel, hot dog for Kevin and Jen and Kevin shared a poutine (fries with gravy and cheese curds). We also stopped at Slickers in Bloomfield for ice cream. Everyone in my family loves ice cream. We all had the campfire ice cream flavour and it really does taste like roasted marshmallows from the campfire. My second scoop was margarita, which tasted faintly of lime. It needs more lime and that salt texture or margarita flavour. Now we are on our way back to the cottage and relax for the evening.

Sounds like a great get-away! Love Slickers ice cream! Pat Hacker, one of the co-owners, is the Wedding Officiant that married Chris & I at the Devonshire Inn in Wellington. She was/is delightful and warm.
