Street Scenes and More

    
Kids in a candy store.  It’s a classic, right?  Except this was the most quintessentially charming candy store I think I’ve seen.  Right down to the dipped-in-the-store caramel apples and the watch-it-through-the-window taffy pulling machine, Lloyd’s of Avalon hit all the right notes.

             
Bits of local color.

                        
Just some fun making new friends on the beach.

It’s not often that you see Jake and I together in front of the camera anymore.  Hi guys!

            
Glass bottom boat time!  I’m not sure who enjoyed this more, Logan or I.  My pleasure was in the anticipation, based on my memories of that goofy Doris Day movie.  Adding to the sense of build-up, Jake and I (because I made Jake watch the movie with me before we went) sang the Glass Bottom Boat song practically the entire time we were on the island.  Logan, on the other hand, found joy in the re-living and re-telling of the experience; for at least a week he told everyone, friend or stranger, about going on that boat!

                       
Here is the infamous glass bottom boat, and I have to say that the view above the water was probably equally as impressive as the view below the water.  If nothing else, the species above the water (cormorants) were easier to identify than the swarming fish.

                                 
Back on the pier, we found another especially friendly above-the-water species.

And since these shots still aren’t in order, we’re going to call it a day! 

Gotta get these Thanksgiving pictures up before Christmas!
