My roommates, our two dogs, and a couple of friends took a trip to buckroe beach on the 21st. The weather was too nice to pass up. We woke up around 12:30, and hit the road by 1:30. This is of course after stopping for wawa. The drive was only about 30 minutes down 64, its usually around 20 but we decided to go to the private section where the dogs could roam free.
We were equipped with 5 baseball gloves, 1 baseball bat, 4 baseballs, 1 football, and 1 soccer ball; more than enough to keep us occupied for a couple of hours. When we first got there the sun was just barely beginning to get covered by the clouds, and was totally covered about 30 minutes later. The weather was about 70 degrees on the way down there, and I totally forgot that being next to the water would be a little bit colder. Still warm enough for shorts and short sleeves, but nowhere near warm enough to go in the water.
Since I brought my puppy who is now about 5 months old to the beach, I figured I would try and get her to go in the water or at least check it out as she had never seen the beach before. I walked her over to the edge of the water, and she just would not have it. After trying over and over, I picked her up, walked waist deep into the freezing water and threw her as far as I could into the ocean. She dunked under the water for a second then popped right up and swam her way to the shore. She did not look happy, but at least I know she can swim now.
I walked her up and down the beach collecting some interesting looking shells, while she tried to play with every other dog she saw. After playing ball for a couple of hours, the sun had completely gone away, so we decided to pack it up and leave. Overall I would have to say that my trip to buckroe beach was a success and when srping comes around my trips to the beach will be more frequent.
