Beach Combing

 
Happy Spring Break to you all! Yesterday we took the kids out to shipwreck beach to do a little exploring. I am happy to report that we saw quite a bit of snow, but none of it was on the roads and none of it was falling on us! The weather was actually quite nice :)

Nothing exciting to report from the beach trip. Found tons of sea glass and pretty rocks. Mike found an old wooden mallet that is pretty neat. We tried to have a picnic on the beach, but the wind kept blowing sand in our sandwiches.

We did meet a teacher from Misawa (the only other person for miles!). He teaches in town and is not affiliated with the base at all. His name is Mr. B and his hobbies are rocks and fossils and such. He gave us all a lesson on the rocks to be found on this beach: jade, amber, agate, petrified wood and so on... We enjoyed our time with him and left the beach a little smarter!

Mike has been off for the past three days and goes back to work tomorrow. Kids and I will play around the base and town for the rest of Spring Break.

Much Love,
