Every once in awhile, we pick a family member and say "today is your day". It's like a birthday, but it's almost more of a day to practice leadership. The family member gets to choose all the activities, food and plans for the day. The rest of the family comes along and enjoys it.
Today was my wife's day. She chose Brighton beach. It takes about an hour to drive there, so enjoyed a nice chat on the way. We hit a little traffic, and parking was sold out, but we eventually made it.
Brighton is a great little town. Lots of shopping, and it's very kid and pet friendly. Close to the beach, the streets are windy and narrow, almost like Venice. Slightly north of the beach, the streets straighten out and open up a bit, still lined with great shops.
We also wandered to the beach, it was actually pretty cold, especially for late August. It's a pebble beach, which our youngest daughter loves.
We tried to get into a few places for dinner, but they all been booked way in advance. So we drove 30 minutes west to a neat little sea town called Worthing. We found a great spot and my wife enjoyed the scallops she was looking for.
