Skegness -- Entertainment day 1

The garden of the "Jolly Sailor" in the Skeg
Immediately after school we were swept away to see some sights of the area.  We drove through Boston and saw the mill and travelled along the countryside to the ocean-side town of Skegness (effectionately called "the Skeg").  It was more of a joke because Carol will be mortified to find out that we went there!  Bridget and Jo were a ball to be with! "The Skeg" isn't the most beautiful place in the world, but it has small town charm.  We toured arcades (you have to play a round of Bingo when in the Skeg, aparently), ate English toffee, put our feet in the brown ocean water (we think we'll grow webbed feet from it...?), bought Skegness Rock (which is candy), ate freshly made donuts, and had dinner in a little Italian restaurant.  Jo and Bridget were a blast.  We got back at 11pm and snuck into the house like teenagers as not to wake up Greg and Carol.  What a day!
