The next day, we headed out
past the ad for the Elvis impersonator
to Mellon's
home of the sticky buns
with the big promise
that were delivered by these girls
from Media.
Next we went to the bagel shop next door where they were
celebrating the 4th
in grand style. We checked out the menu
but didn't want to ruin our appetites so we had Benjamin do the flag thing
took a picture of this bumper sticker
and then ran into these wonderful children
having a holiday parade.
Back at home, as the time passed,
Jane and Lucy rested
and then got ready to move
even though the day was gloomy.
But time passed
so we watched Rikki
encourage people to get out of their Mom's house. And then we got settled at the beach
as Suzanne read the Bernstein guide to Paris
and Lucy and Jane gathered shells.
All of this digging
led to these conch shells with live animals in them
and this crab
so that we roamed the beach looking for more
until it was time to return for reading.
and Michael and Caroline
could discuss publishing English research to the amusement
of Suzanne. The digging resumed
and we made a sign
warning people away from our masterpiece.
It was time for regrouping
The digging continued beyond the pier
and back

The next excursion began a little later
as we made our way to Hoy's
where we took our obligatory phone booth picture
and worried about poor Joe.
Suzanne modeled for us
in Hoy's and we left to see this fine ad
for tutoring.
The only thing better than Benjamin's dinner
were these crayons
he won at the arcade much to the delight of the neighbors.
The meal was exquisite with
mozzarella, basil and tomatoes,
roasted vegetables,
zucchini rice,
asparagus rice,
and leftover fish.
Sadly it was departure time, so Caroline
took the first picture
followed by Suzanne.
This is (more or less)
what they saw.
