On Nathan's birthday weekend we drove to Easington Colliery and went for a walk. I expected there to be lots of people because 1) it was the first Saturday after state schools broke for the summer, and 2) it was sunny, but there was no one! We had a good time being warm and exploring.
Bugs and thistle
My handsome husband
Big rocks and the North Sea
Beautiful scenery
My attempt at an artsy shot
Nathan found this little cave and some rocks and had an idea...
He wanted to run to the top of that rock and have his picture taken with the water splashing around him and get back down without getting wet.
Climbing to the top
Uh oh! Big wave! He had to run away quickly. This picture cracks me up.
He did it!
The intended photo, although the one of him running away is way cooler.
Caught between the rock and the wet place
Just a wee splash of sea water
We climbed back up to the cliffs. Nathan is working on taking self portraits from behind now. :)
Almost to the top
Nearly there
Almooooost
Phew! We made it.

Vacation? Yup. Summer? Nope. We're going to Hawaii and leaving on my FIFTIETH birthday (in the Fall). (DeAnn, how does that make you feel?) However, watching the Olympics and seeing all the sights makes me want to go back to England. :-( It has been awhile after all. I think I was 17 when I went to England and it was a micro-short trip (5 days).
