Hurricane Bill on the New Hamshire Coast

Hurricane?? In New Hampshire?? Yes, Bill came by for a visit. He didn't actually come to us but sent us some rain and wind and waves. Yesterday, early evening, we decided to take a ride out to the coast. The tide was on its way back out but we could see how high it had come up. The waves were beautiful and there were a lot of people about. The first picture was taken at our favorite spot north of Hampton and Rye. We have taken many pictures out here and even spent the day one year for Emily's birthday. Some of you may recognize it as a spot we have taken you. I couldn't resist taking a picture of the lobster trap and buoy. It looked so New Englandish sitting there on the rocks with the waves behind it.

Our first stop was Hampton Beach. This is what we found there. Cloudy, not raining, a lot of people and some crazy people in the water. There were a lot of surfers!! A busy place.

The waves were pretty big and kept on rolling in one after another.

Our next stop was a favorite place, the "Rock Beach"! By now it was raining off an on a bit. It was a little brighter here, North of Hampton. The waves were not as big and the tide was further out. Here are the girls before walking out onto the rocks.

These two pictures were taken way out by the water on some very big rocks. It was beautiful!!!

I took this last picture as we were leaving. The pictures just don't capture how beautiful it really was.

After leaving the "Rock Beach" we headed over to a local joint called, Rays. (Not to be confused with Rays Place in Kent.) We ate dinner until it became dark and started to rain hard. It was a great way to end our weekend.

The picture at the very top, behind the blog heading, was taken out on Cape Cod. More pictures of that trip later and I still have more Ohio pictures to post. Just wanted to get these out while Hurricane Bill was all fresh in our minds.
