Wish You Were Here!

You can tell J and I have spent most of our lives in a land-locked state by how often we head to the beach. We try to go about every other weekend, and we love every minute of it. It is as if we go enough times we can soak it up and always have it with us. It is a strange thing that we have friends in Illinois and Kentucky who are enduring ice storms while we are able to sit out on the coast and dip our toes in the (albeit freezing) Pacific Ocean. So, while we have this great privilege of amazing weather and gorgeous creation we are thoroughly enjoying being by the coast. The toddlers have lots of fun running around in the sand, running away from the waves, digging with shovels and buckets, feeding seagulls, and eating plenty of their own snacks on our well-worn beach blanket. Below are pictures from this month’s trips to a beach just South of Malibu and to Huntington Beach. (Note: Upon arriving at Huntington Beach I realized my camera battery was dead! I was so bummed until a very kind couple overheard and let us take a few pictures which they emailed to us later – their sweetness brightened our whole day – especially mine!)
