Down the Shore

We went to the North Brigantine Island Beach in New Jersey for the day. This was the only beach we could find that allowed dogs.

The kids loved the sand and the water. Daisy did not! She was shaking with fear and/or cold. And she is such a prissy girl that she would not sit down in the sand for fear of getting dirty.
And there were so many horse flies swarming us that we had to stay in the water up to our knees just to keep them away.
After 20 minutes we ran for the car, only after being bit many many times. We wanted to walk on the board walk but they didn't allow dogs and we didn't want to leave Daisy in the hot car without any shade, so we just headed home. 2 hours of driving each way for 20 minutes at the beach. Oh well, next time we will leave Daisy home.
