The town was hosting a parade for wounded veterans, so there were people lining the streets waving flags as we drove in and soon after fire trucks and police with their sirens on to escort the buses of warrior families. Some of the shops (at least the ones that are open, because after Labor Day, a lot of the town closes except on weekends) are also doing fundraisers for Dorian victims to the south. Because we are geniuses, we managed to forget our beach towels, so we had to stop at Sunsations, which has a lot of summer beach stuff on sale and thankfully also has sweatshirts, because 65 degrees feels cooler blowing off the ocean than standing in the sun. It's weird being here with so few kids around!
