Jones Beach

It hit almost 100 degrees in NYC today and Tracy and I decided to head to the beach. We jumped on the LIRR and headed up to Jones Beach. It's about a 45 minute train and 10 minute bus ride from Manhattan. We were joined with about 1 million other people but luckily there was plenty of beach to go around. I was really looking forward to getting out in the water even though I was expecting it to be a little fresh. Little did I know the water would be the color of a chocolate milkshake. I'd been to Long Beach in 2010 and that had a shade of brown but it was nothing on this. ALmost gave Sandy Hook, NJ a run for its money in the color department. There were plenty of people in it but I chickened out and only went up to my knees. Oh well Block Island and St John are coming up. 

Just a few people down at the beach

Awesome named beach
