A day at the beach

Beach

I’m thoroughly ensconced in California now. We’ve been here nearly two weeks and the girls are officially “tired” of Mexican food. One can never tire of the beach though, and here are some pics from a recent trip to Santa Cruz… 

 

Red pail

Where we collected lots of shells!

Shells 
And made this sand castle. OK, I lied, someone else made it but I took the photo.

Kite 
If you look closely, you can see Sponge Bob on the kite.

PS — I took these pics AND wrote this post on my iPhone 4! I don’t care what Whoopi Goldberg thinks! I love that phone.

    Oh, the sun, the sky, the sea. Sigh. It’s gloomy here today, but it’s only 9 days until we head for France. Husband spent a couple of months working in California a while back, and he’s been hankering to live there ever since. It looks beautiful

    You’re in CA again?
    We’ve been lucky with the weather.
    Hate to say it, but my daughter has gotten sick of the beach. She hates cleaning up the sand part, I guess.
    Looks like you guys are having a blast. Great pictures!

    This really makes me cry. Our vacation-relaxation seems to be long gone and the weather is crap (of course!) in London. I am so jealous!! Enjoy yourselves, MMx

    Lovely lovely pics.
    Wish I could be away on an extended holiday like that.

    @Tracey I wondered where you were based, so sorry about the weather

  16. Tracey | 27th Jul 10

    What a great time you look like your having. Soak up the sun for me as it is raining and miserable here in Sydney, Australia.
    Enjoy your Summer holiday!

    @nappyvalley Not sure what the attraction is 😀
    @expat Then the kite is a perfect place for him!

    Sponge Bob is on the TV as I write. What an annoying laugh that sponge has!

  19. nappyvalleygirl | 26th Jul 10

    Looks as if you are having a great time! The boys are never happier than when they are on a beach.

    @liz I’m not complaining 😉

    Just looks blissful. You know what a huge fan of the West Coast I am – and I’d love to be on a Californian beach right now! x
