we went to belmont shore with 2 other families and saw nobody but an occasional jogger all day. we had our own personal life guard for a portion of the day! the kids enjoyed building sandcastles, playing in the water (which was pleasantly warm), and searching for shells and other treasures. we, of course, talked briefly about the inter-tidal zone where our kids love to play and much marine life lives. it was a wonderful day!
at the end of the day, we brought home a new "pet" - a hermit crab in a bucket of sea water with sand at the bottom. we knew he wouldn't last, but it was a fun science project for a bit. 
side note: the crab died late the next day and was fed to our hamster by my husband! (fortunately the hamster is still alive, unlike our fish he fed a cheerio to!)
