Hunstanton Beach

Hunstanton lies on the east coast of England but faces the west coast. It's about an hour and half from our home and it's the only beach we have visited so far.

 

We picked a great day to go because it was nice and warm. Even the water was very warm on the shallow end.

 

 

Hunstanton Beach is a family and pet friendly beach, no spring breakers here and there is a small store next to the beach but other than that, not much else.

Here you can also see the cliffs although not quite as large as the ones in Beachy Head or White Cliffs.

For some reason my kid decided not to wear his bathing suit on the beach, instead he wore it home.

 

 

Happy Independence Day!

I never thought I'd be celebrating the fourth of July in the country we won our independence from, but here we are. For the festivities we went to a nearby base and enjoyed the fair and food booths. Mick volunteered at 2 food booths and was MIA most of the day until the fireworks started.

 

 

I love this vintage double decker

There was a whole kid section, where the kids could play, and this bubble game was Brody's favorite.  They stick your kid inside a ball and blow it up with air then they let them roll around in a pool of water.

 

Here he is getting all zipped up and ready to go.

 



 

Standing up is not as a easy at it looks.

 



 

The Red Arrows performed in the sky and they did a great job.

 

Luckily we had friends that lived on the base and we were able to hang out with them for a while and take a break from time to time. It was pretty chilly by the time the fireworks got started.

I think 70% of the people out for the fireworks were British.

 

All in all a memorable fourth of July.
