Happy Beach Day

Atrain and I spent our entire day on the California coast.  The day began at 5:30 when we drove the husband to his clinical skills exam.  (Technically, it began around 12:20 when we went to bed after our day at the magic kingdom, but I try to forget all that).  Thereafter, we lost all recollection of time.  It slipped through the sand that got stuck between our toes.

 We wandered around the deserted shoreline that was wrapped in a soft, salty mist.  My mind as foggy as the scenery.  Memories of the magic kingdom kept washing by between the waves.  We found shells.  We ran barefoot.  We played tag with the sea foam. 

And then, when the husband finished his exam, we made a sunset scene on Santa Monica Pier.  We didn't notice how many onlookers we had until we finished kissing.  Don't worry, it was "PG."  Atrain just stood by, throwing sand in our hair, figuring he had won the tackle battle.

It was a happy beach day for our family, and a super happy birthday for my sister and her growing family.  Katydid is having a baby.  I couldn't be more thrilled.  It's incredible to think about the journey she and her husband have begun.  It's a good one.
