Pat & Crystals First Two Days

Our son Pat his wife Crystal and Crystals parents, Betty and Tim were here for a visit last week.  They arrived Saturday afternoon and we went out to dinner after we got off of work.  The next day we went to Thunder Hole and planned to hike to Sand Beach and do the Great Head Trail.  It started raining about half way to Sand Beach.  We continued on to Sand Beach and caught the bus back to the car and decided to head to the Atlantic Brewery for lunch, the brewery tour and tasting.  

At least Thunder Hole was thundering while we were here this time.  Below is a video and pictures of the waves and thunder.  So turn up the speakers and listen.

After a lunch of PB&J sandwiches and seeing the hikers making their way up the Beehive trail, Pat and Crystal decided that we needed to do it. Linda, Tim & Betty took the bowl trail and met us on top of the Beehive Trail.
There are little bitty people in this picture on the trail

After a hard day of hiking it was off to Poorboys for an early dinner before heading up to Cadillac Mountain to watch the sunset.

There were a few clouds 

As always great picture taking on top of Cadillac  

There are always great panoramic views 
After taking our fill of pictures we headed over to get our seats for the show.  It was pretty neat when the sun set everyone clapped. The rest of the pictures don't need captions enjoy.
