A Day At The Beach


What a perfect weekend to go to the beach. Especially since our favorite coworker/friend/2nd mom, Margie Casey, had a camp site at the beach and invited us to come down on Saturday.

We did so much fun stuff I forgot to get pictures of it all.

We left early in the morning so we could make a whole day of it. Jonathan, Stephanie, Nanci and I all carpooled together. Once we arrived at Doheny Sate Beach we lounged at the camp site for a bit. Then we made our way over to the beach and spent some time getting plenty of sun. We actually ended up going back and forth between the camp site and the beach a lot (they were only about 500 feet apart). We also played some board and card games, ate lots of great BBQ food, played paddle ball, went night swimming in the ocean, hung out by the camp fire and even made S'Mores!

The girls mission for that day was to go kayaking and after quite an effort, they actually did it!

A exciting game of Balderdash

We did plenty of walking to try and find the kayak rental place

Fearless. They paddled out until they were mere specks on the horizon

Jonathan got banged up saving someone else's kayak from getting pulled in by the tide (You can read more about it here)


It was a full day of fun in the sun and we were all pretty tired by the time we had to go back. We got home around midnight and I was ready to pass out...actually, I did just that.

Hey Cazi, it looks like fun. I think that is what I have missed the most about not being in California this summer, the beach. Did you kiss John's booboo's and make them better?
