The Big Blue Yellow

Today The Misers DID go to the beach, and it was brilliant. We went to Santa Monica, which is a beach that we know quite well. We used to boogie board there all the time about a million years ago; it feels like another lifetime. I was up very late last night working, so I'm quite groggy today and we almost didn't go. But as it was about 110 degrees inland, we decided to make the trek west. The ocean was warmish and I ran a couple of miles on the beach. Bee played in the sand and squealed at the Big Blue Yellow. Although she wasn't very keen about getting in, and she doesn't really like the way wet sand feels on her toes, she was thrilled to be there nonetheless. Sparky boogie boarded a little bit, but the waves were "slow and mushy". We had fun, though, and plan on coming back later in the week. And next time we'll pack a lunch as Bee ended up feasting on a Big Dad jerky stick (surfer food), which I don't want to make into a regular thing. It's a great cheap Miser thing to do, and it's especially good to do during weekdays when parking is abundant. So with lunch in basket, we'll say goodbye to the heat and head to the beach for some fun in the sun.
