San Clemente's T Street Beach |
First on the agenda, however, was a quick trip to Costco with the kids. My ulterior motive was to buy this bad boy. I promised the kids "brunch" and they fell for it. Next time I take the kids to eat at Costco, please remind me that I could probably feed all three kids on one slice of pizza.
This Light Speed Quick Shelter set up in about 3 minutes... |
We quickly loaded back up and headed for one of my recent favorite local beaches--T Street. Once we got there and I got my new quick shelter set up, I was able to enjoy a little light reading--and a great view.
I actually got some crap from J. and our friends about the quick shelter, but I think it's a keeper. It was light, easy to set up, and easy to carry. I hate taking a bunch of crap to the beach (something that only tourists do), but I have to admit that this may be something that I have to add to my normal repertoire.
The weather was great. High 70s and low 80s. Not much of a breeze. Hardly any clouds in the sky. And although there were quite a few people at T Street, the beach was not too crowded nor was the water.
S. and R. were really excited to get me into the water with them. I held off for as long as I could, but eventually I acquiesced. The water was cool, but refreshing once I got used to it.
I enjoyed getting a chance to bodysurf, but even though I'm a much better swimmer than I used to be, it would have been nice to have fins. But I did get a couple of nice rides in.
I would be remiss, however, if I didn't give a special shout out to the middle aged, tourist boogie boarder who managed to nail me in the head at the end of one of my better rides of the day. Next time, feel free to watch where you're going lady! My neck is still smarting...She's lucky I don't know any good lawyers to take my case! ;-)
Cute Kids...Even Though They're Not Mine! |
Buried in the sand! |
Digging with a plastic shovel at the beach is not all that relaxing... |
You look so good posing with the kids that arent yours!
ReplyDeleteThe beach day looks like great fun and I LOVE the beach tent. Great buy!
