Beach day

  Not much to say today, went to the beach, photographic evidence being lower down in this post. Picked some strawberries and olallieberries which my spell checker thinks isn't a word but it is damn it even if I only heard about it today. Then some more beaches (at least two more I think), including one where the wind was strong enough that it felt like the hairs on my legs were being sand blasted off. That beach did supply the funniest moment of the day though with a little boy losing his beach ball to the wind as it got blown across the entire beach, across the creek by the beach, across the beach on the other side of the creek, almost up the sand dune on the road before finally coming to a rest in some driftwood. It provided a mighty chuckle to me and my wife as this poor kid looked so forlorn, he tried to chase the ball for a bit. In the end the mother had to go fetch it and bring it back.

  Anyway, despite a fair bit of driving (the route we took is a single lane road through the hills) in traffic we got there and actually saw the sun as well which is rare for the coast there. It can be cloudy and foggy quite a bit. Just got in from a splash in the pool to cool off and now I'm going to collapse in a heap and think about something to scoff for dinner.
