North Yorkshire

Streets in Whitby

Whitby

Robin Hood's Bay

This weekend we did a little camping in the North Yorkshire Moors. We came back a little early on Sunday due to the rain. We spent much of Saturday in the rain, and it appeared Sunday wasn't going to get much better, so we packed up and headed home. Despite the weather, we had a lovely time on Saturday in Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay. Two absolutely gorgeous places. Whitby is an old fishing village with cobblestone streets. Much like York, it is very touristy, with many restaurants and shops, but also has some great historical places and spectacular sea views. Robin Hood's Bay is a small fishing village. It has tiny streets and houses so close together they seem to be linked all into one. It was quite a walk from the top of the village to the bottom, but the views were amazing (even in cloud cover). The boys had a great time playing on the beach. We just barely made it out before the beach was submerged by the incoming tide. There was a section of the beach that was completely covered by seaweed. When we were walking through the seaweed Owen said, "I think the Seaweed monster is going to get us." I was actually convinced of this myself. Mike and Samuel dredged right through the thick of it, while Owen and I went around as best we could. Another lovely weekend. Now we are excited to see Mackenzie, Briahna, and Grandma next week!
