We had such a wonderful time the two days we went to Old Orchard (in spite of the fact that I was dumb enough to get a severe sunburn). We played in the water, swam, shopped on the pier and in town, and all in all just had a wonderful couple days together. The girls did find a couple of t-shirt shops that they especially liked, although I think they were much more attracted to the young man selling the t-shirts than they were to the actual shop!
Surf was very high and rough while we were there and a number of swimmers had to be rescued from riptides. In just the first day we were there, 48 swimmers were rescued which is a lot. Most often 48 swimmers are not rescued in a whole year, let alone in just a day.
