We took the kids to the beach this afternoon. Let me tell you - a Lake Erie beach is absolutely NOTHING like our beach at home. Okay, it's something like it: there is sand and there is water. And weird little wind-chop waves. But that's where the resemblance ends.
Bay Village is between the two lakeshore towns where Elaine grew up and went to high school. She and her family and friends used to hang out on this beach but she said it was much different then. The rocky walls have been put in since she was a kid and help keep the sand on the beach from washing away. Sometimes they would go to the beach and there wouldn't be any beach. The sand would have all washed away.
The afternoon we went was chilly and windy. The red "no swimming" flags were out because of a strong rip current.Apparently, these are pretty common along this coast.
