Day at the beach.

So today we decided to go back to a beach that we went to the other day. We had read about a beach that people in the sea glass collecting world refer to as the sea glass capital of the world. So we went and checked it out last week and collected around 100 pieces. Pieces ranging in size from a pea to pieces about an inch and a half to two inches. So we decided to go again today. We checked the tide times last night and found that low tide was at 8:11am this morning. So we loaded up the troops and headed out and arrived about 8:30ish. We began our hunt, (this hobby is something my wife started last time we were out east about four years ago.) it started slow but by the time we were done we probably upped our collection to over 200 pieces in two visits. We have filled an entire 750ml mason jar. Not only did we find so much we also were able to find blue, light blue and I personally found two pieces of black sea glass which are very rare I understand. Not only did we find sea glass but we found three star fish at that beach as well. We then popped over to a beach not to far from that one that we had read was known for sand dollars, and with in ten minutes we found one and only one, but we'll be back to both for sure soon.
