We are fifteen days out from the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. It’s already cold and dark before the six o’clock news comes on. For some warmth, here are some shots from a beach trip I took back in 2011. ~Vic

We won’t be able to go back. The Clam Digger was bought out, remodeled and they jacked up their prices. The new owners wouldn’t deal with our law enforcement group.
Most places were operating, including indoor dining. We opted to not dine out or do any fun shopping. Ugh, I’ve about had enough with all this cooking the past year! 😉 😅

I SO wish. Ken doesn’t travel anymore. He is slow on mobility.

I could say the same about your area. How far are you from your coast? Distance & time?

Unfortunately, it will be a miracle if any independent restaurants survive. If you want to eat out in 2021, you may be limited to big chains.
