Hello everyone and welcome back to my last Weekly Wrap Up of the summer. One of my family’s favorite summer activities when I was little was to visit Watch Hill, RI, an adorable little town with a quaint beach, carousel and delicious homemade ice cream shop. Visiting this special place from my youth with my kids and their cousins this past weekend made for the perfect end to our summer fun.

You West Coast folks might debate me on this, but I think that the beaches on the East Coast, especially those on the Atlantic, are spectacular. Biased? Certainly! My favorite of these East Coast beaches, Watch Hill is perfect for families since it’s small and manageable and set up for kids. Just a few steps from the beach, you’ll find an antique carousel that’s been challenging kids to get a bronze ring for decades!

The home-made ice cream shop offers distinctive and delicious special flavors (like Pineapple Coconut, which my Dad and I always picked) and salted caramel chocolate chip!

After some buggy board races and some relays in the sand – which left one Mom who ran on her tip toes with sore legs for days! – the satiated group hit the road for grandmas house, grateful for a day in the sand and ocean and the memories that were made.
