Just Beachy

The last few days have been somewhat overcast and cold, by my standards. But today we woke up and it was a beautiful sunny day. So, why not head to the beach? We put on our bathing suits, (mine was too small, Joli's was too big).

Then we changed again, and headed to the car. We got to Coronado and called a friend who lives there. After stopping by her place, we headed to the beach. Now for most people, happiness sets in once you're out on the warm sand, listening to the waves crashing on the shore. But something triggers in my child, and she goes "Oh crap, mommy's relaxed!" So apparently this makes it the perfect time to scream. She's tired, she's rubbing her face on her blanket, but she can't just enjoy the warmth. She starts pulling on the blanket, shoves her hand into the sand, and then rubs it all over her face. Now she's mad because she's covered in sand! So we gave up and left. She fell asleep in the stroller and we spent the rest of the afternoon at an outdoor cafe, sipping ice tea.
