Sunday Exploration: Rome Point (Chafee Nature Preserve)

We made the most of our early wake-up and the beautiful weather last Sunday by taking an early morning trip out to Rome Point to hike, explore the beach, and collect shells. It was the perfect start to the morning - everyone was in a good mood, the beach was quiet, and it was low tide so there was plenty of things to examine. We found lots of beautiful shells, examined snails, barnacles, clams, and mussels, and climbed on rocks. As we were leaving Julia asked if we could start out more Sundays the same way - we can't imagine anything better!
