Today I spent a few beautiful hours with my son and grandson at Napatree Point, a lovely beach near Westerly. The weather was idyllic – cool, a soothing wind, enough sunshine to keep us thoroughly satisfied. We spent a good part of our time building a fort down by the water, including a fortification of driftwood to keep the incoming tide out. Noah loved it. He squealed each time the waves swept close, and sometimes shouted orders: “Water, stay back! Don’t even think about it!”
