Adventure Six:

Going to the Beach

Diane's Mom and Bob's friend Alfred, both of whom were visiting from Florida, came along, too. If there's one thing more fun than an adventure, it is an adventure with lots of friends.

We got in the car and started driving. It was a nice Fall day -- sunny but not too hot. We drove for about half an hour.

When the car stopped and we got out, I knew we were someplace different. There was lots of sand everywhere, and the trees were different. There weren't big leafy trees like we have at home -- the trees were all pine trees, and smaller than the couple of pine trees we have in the yard. There was also more brush where we parked. And there was a sort of roaring sound in the distance. And everything smelled different. Once everyone was out of the car, we started walking along a boardwalk.

This was the first sign I saw. I knew I was going to like this place!

Here's the next sign we saw. I was wearing my harness and my bandana, so this sign was no problem for me.

When we got off the boardwalk, there was nothing but sand -- even the grass and trees were gone! Bob put me down in the sand, and it felt funny.

Then I saw the Atlantic Ocean. That's where the roaring sound was coming from! The water was making the noise!

I didn't like the sound of the water, so I decided to move away from it...

... I went by Diane's Mom and leaned against her legs, so I could see the water from a more comfortable distance.

Once I got used to the new sights, sounds, and smells, I settled down. I sniffed the air, looked at the people, the birds, and the scenery, and relaxed on the sand. It was nice and soft.

After a while, we walked back to the car and went home. This was a short adventure, but it was fun. I expect to go back to the beach many times.
