A November Sunset at West Neck Beach, Huntington, NY

Thora and I took a ride down to West Neck Beach this past Friday, (November 8, 2013), to walk on the beach, view the sunset and give Grandma a break.

Reasons, not necessarily listed in order of importance... but that is why we went to West Neck Beach. The "walk on the beach" lasted less than 5 minutes for Thora who said it was too cold and windy, (it was!), and that she'd rather watch the sunset from the car. The sunset -- as most sunsets at West Neck -- was it's usual spectacular self.

The performing seagulls were a bonus. And Grandma? Grandma was a happy camper at home who greeted us with hugs and hot chocolate. (There is a little poetic license there about the hot chocolate, but Thora and I did both get hugs!)
