Last Beach Walk Of the Summer

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00614

The Summer is over and we enjoyed ourselves on the Cape a lot. Despite there being a pandemic and having to quarantine throughout the year we were fortunate enough to be able to be down the Cape and visit with my parents multiple times. This was the first year in a long time that I have had Labor Day Weekend off. In the past we have gone to King Richard’s Faire but that isn’t happening this year. Instead we went down for a few days of rest and relaxation by the beach. We had beautiful weather and so Allison and I were able to walk each morning along Great Bay which is her happy place. Even when she wasn’t feeling too up to walking she still wanted to make sure that she got to walk along that stretch. It is a beautiful walk.

The beach was a bit crazy today because there was a Trump rally on the water so about 100 boats drove by with their Trump banners and such. Some people waved from the beach and supported them and others did not. It was a crazy thing to round the corner at the beach and see hundreds of boats out on the water and have no idea why. I immediately thought Trump rally because of the whole my boat is bigger than your boat mentality. And wow, I was right. The rally went by twice and then was gone, we enjoyed a rather peaceful beach day despite that bit of excitement.

The kids enjoyed their beach time, Andy is a fish who never wants to get out of the water. Eva is spending a little less time at the beach overall. She is now old enough to walk back to the house and stay if she’d rather do that. She found other ways to occupy her time.

We had a nice meal tonight of some boneless pork ribs that we made on the grill. It was a nice night and then we walked along the beach and got a photo of the kids together on the beach. We did not get or Woods Hole photo after the Science School cookout out this time around but this was nice too.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo. 

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
