Contrails

This year they moved the airshow to the beach, and I thought it was a terrible idea. No static displays of giant military aircaft? I totally expected it to be, like, a handful of hot dog stands and no parking. But it was fantastic! The beach here is...so nice! WTF? I've avoided it for years. There's a big old covered carousel, lots of places to watch boats pass, wooded parkland, covered picnic tables, restaurants, a wide swath of really sandy beach, little lapping waves...I mean, it's not the cleanest place to swim, but who cares? It was completely pleasant!
Of course, I was too busy balancing a garbage plate in one hand, Owen holding the other, so no more pics.
Just

Carousel at the beach

So fun!

Yes! Only make mine with two cheeseburgers! Nick Tahou's makes the best. Totally worth the gastrointestinal damage.

What a nice surprise! I take it you might try spending some summer days there this year? I love that picture of Owen on the carousel. :)

Good, I'm glad you went and had fun! The gazebo there is where they show the free movies in the summer. I hope you guys can make it out for one this season! (I know, it depends on childcare)

Also, Garbage Plate trivia: Whenever John Belushi was within driving distance of Rochester, he would go out of his way to come and get a plate at Nick Tahous.
