friday field trip
It has been a really crazy week and I can’t believe I even have time to post, but I couldn’t let a Friday go by without a Friday field trip! Here in Connecticut, we have been having some really hot weather…I think we had a day with a record breaking temperature…it really is starting to feel like summer :)
What better way to start gearing up for summer than to attend a sandcastle competition? So, I decided to attend a local competition and post some photos to help get you into the summer spirit. No better way to feel happy about the beach….except maybe to listen to the Beach Boys… or watch an episode of Sand Masters.
Here are my two favorites…
How about this ‘dude?’ Gotta love him :) Look at the hair!
Has anyone else out there discovered the show Sand Masters on the Travel channel? I am enthralled with the show. There are people out there that call themselves master sand sculptors and basically make a living out of creating things in the sand. Sand Masters showcases these professionals. If you live in an area that is hard-pressed for a sandcastle competition and my pictures aren’t enough…try checking out the show…you can watch it on the Travel channel or on line…here is a taste:

Hope you enjoyed Field Trip Friday…and a little taste of summer from here in Connecticut :)
I live in Connecticut also, the southern part. There is always a sand castle competition I think in July or August in Milford. We usually go over and check out the sand sculptures. Some are quite good. Best wishes, Linda
Thanks Linda :) Yes, that is the nice part about Connecticut…it is small enough to hit the entire coast! There are always great coastal activities to check out..the one in the photos was in Westport.
