Life List Update: Beaches + Baking

I seem to be in a blogging frenzy these past few days. Little things keep striking me as being interesting. So of course I have to share them.

First, I just read the list of the Top 10 Beaches in America. Have you visited any of them?

It was so nice to see a Massachusetts beach on the list. #7 is
Coast Guard Beach on the Cape. I visited Nauset Beach, which I think is very close by.

There are so many beaches that I haven't visited, so I decided to add #101 to My Life List - Visit 3 new beaches each summer. This will give me greater incentive.

Second, I've made progress on #58 - Make homemade Graham Crackers. I have a graham cracker recipe and finally found some graham flour. I had to go to a health food store, but luckily Quincy has a really good one. Now to get baking!

Have a great weekend everyone! I have a pretty busy one ahead. And I'm going to see SATC 2 tomorrow. Any special plans for the holiday?

Oh, now I want to go to the beach! I haven't been in so long, and I live in California too. Great blog - now to check out your graham cracker recipe ('cause I think they're yummy too). Peace. :)

Oh, wow, this is interesting. I was hoping that a beach in Texas would pop on the list but it looks like not.

I tried the graham cracker recipe (my son and I made them together). Haven't finished (the dough is in the fridge). They were fun to make but it was a pain to translate all the weight measurements into cups. I like to cook enough you would think I would invest in a scale already- oh well!
I'll tell you how they turn out.

I guess it's a good thing you're surrounded by so many good beaches. This weekend? I'm painting the bathroom and installing a walkway. Joy ;>) Have a great weekend.

I think the best beaches I've ever been to were the ones in Maui, HI. They were just gorgeous and the water temperature was perfect! I look forward to hearing more about your discovery of new beaches!

We vacationed in Maui, Oahu and Big Island, enjoyed beaches there in Hawaii last June, uncomparable to any beache I have been so far. Of course we visit NC and SC beaches often, love them, thanks for the list! :)

So, nothing against beaches in the northeast, but while they may be pretty they aren't warm! I can't figure out how BEACH WEATHER figured into his decision with 3 northeastern beaches and only 2 from Hawaii and 1 from California.

angel - Welcome! I've heard so many good things about Maui. I'll have to get there one day.

asha - Maui does keep popping up as one of the best. Maybe I'll be able to report back from there one day! : )

lo - It's true that the water doesn't get very warm up here. But when the weather is super hot, it feels that much more refreshing.

tracy - So glad that you had a good trip and enjoyed the links. : )
