Another Summer with the Grand Daughters
Every year in mid-summer, my wife and I take our two grand daughters (9 and 7 this year) to another nearby location for a week between camps and school starting. This year it was North Beach, and we needed a rental by the beach and Chesapeake Beach's water park. Unfortunately, the water park was closed (maybe permanently), but we found plenty to do. We went to North Beach every day because the girls liked swimming in the jelly-free beach enclosure and the waves were gentle. We had passes from the rental and the walk was short and interesting. We went to Jefferson Patterson Park and kayaked (our boat) from their beach to our very own "deserted island' for a beach stay. We rode our bikes on the Chesapeake Beach Rail Trail and read all the signs. We saw crabs, fish, herons and egrets and an osprey on our ride. We went down to Solomons Island for the Calvert Marine Museum and rode the Wm B. Tennyson buy boat out on the Bay. We hiked 1.8 miles from the parking lot to Calvert Cliffs Beach and hunted for fossil shark teeth. Every night we stayed up late and watched movies (Boss Baby, Rise of the Red, etc.) All in all, it was a very good get away.
The house was very comfortable and the girls loved the bunk beds. It was nice for us to have a third floor hideway when the silliness got a bit too silly. All the applicances and AC worked fine and we had a locked enclosure to store the bikes. Very nice accommodations.
