Mr. Golden Sun

beach

The sun is finally a constant companion on our trip. Phew. I was worried. I’ve been spending the past few weeks wearing the clothing that I packed at the last minute because I thought I might get cold maybe once or twice. HA.

Apparently Mother Nature does have a sense of humor. Each time I’ve called home I’ve heard that the weather has been sweltering. At one point I caught up with my parents and my mom was hanging out on the beach while my dad was snorkeling.

Snorkeling!  In Washington.

Me? I was in California sitting by my campfire wearing at least 4 layers and sipping on hot chocolate. So, this is why I’m glad that the sun has finally come to play. I’m able to wear my tank tops, skirts, dresses that I so diligently packed.

Hallelujah!

Now, I just need to find out if people can snorkel in San Francisco. If my dad can do it in Washington then certainly it’s an option in sunny California, right?

Finders Keepers

One of the beaches we walked along yesterday was incredibly beautiful. It didn’t have any washed up water bottles or garbage. The sand was nice and  forgiving to walk on and warm to the touch. We discovered beach glass on our return trip and  ended up walking very slowly with our heads down, trying to find the most beautiful piece to add to our collection.
