We decided to get an early start and beat the heat. It was 72 degrees F at 9am and 84 degrees F when we left around noon. I noticed that it was up to 90 degrees F when we left the restaurant, where we had lunch, at about 1:30 pm. The sky was clear with a slightly increasing breeze through the morning. We had a great time.
