Monday 25th May was Memorial Day here in the USA. It is to commemorate those who lost their lives fighting for their country, and is a national holiday although many stores stay open. Tina was also off work so we decided to do something with her two youngest boys. 
But before we picked them up we had an early morning bike ride for an hour or so before it got too hot, taking the back roads down to the start of Ponte Vedra Beach, admiring the colourful and impressive houses along the beach front. We came back along the beach for most of the way until the combined force of the sun, and the resistance of the wet sand enticed us back to the easier roads for the last stage of the journey.
The afternoon was spent at Fort Clinch State Park, home to a fine 19th century preserved fort. Although no battles were fought there, it was garrisoned during both the Civil and Spanish-American wars. We picnicked, wandered around the battlements, and then ventured out on one of the trails that runs through the park grounds. We were disappointed not to see alligators and armadillos like last visit, but nature is not like on demand movies, we dance to her tune. Here’s some more photos of the day…
That looks a good beach to walk lurchers, full of interesting wildlife too.
I hope you are not referring to Tina!
Pls, I am a bit more sofisticated than to be making cheap punnery like that.
The beach would certainly be long enough to exercise Dylan and Lemon. It stretches for miles. I think dogs are forbidden between the hours of 9am and 5pm, while the dunes are out of bounds and protected so it might be a tad problematic with those pair haring off uncontrollably. Anyway I thought you were coming over to do a book tour for your American fans, so you can check the beach out in person. There were plenty of, ahem, interesting sights today!
