Good morning, I hope everyone had a great weekend. The kids were off yesterday for Martin Luther King's Day, so we decided we would head to the beach. Sorry to those of you who are still experiencing snow and cold temperatures, but So Cal yesterday was gorgeous! It was 80 degrees inland and about 75 at the beach.
The kids had a blast as did me and hubby. I really needed yesterday after the last few weeks, it really lifted my spirits!
The big rock was covered with pelicans.
I love this photo, how the sun makes the sand sparkle like glitter.
It's so magical.
My little one loved the ocean. I couldn't get him away from it once it was time to head home. And my 6 year old just happened to "accidently" fall in the water. Yea, I don't buy it either. He is my little fish, he loves the water!
It was such a great family day. Too bad hubby and son are back to work and school today, so we can't go and be beach bumb's again.

Hope you all enjoy your week.
Take care.

oh melinda it was beautiful yesterday.
ReplyDeleteso glad you got to spend it with the family at the beach. I love the picture of Jack watching the water. Too cute.
Sounds like it was exactly what you had wished for only days ago.
We had no beach but the park was perfect for us yesterday. One more day of temps like this then back to reality.
Hope to see you soon
Amy
(Hopping on Amtrak now, coming to live with Melinda....seems a 40 degree difference in temps is enough to warrant a move...)

I boy....what I wouldn't give to be there right now!
ReplyDeleteYour trip looks like heaven to me. We're having a heat wave here today...it's 40 degrees. La
ReplyDeleteI'm SO jealous Melinda! We've got mounds of snow outside and now it's raining on it. SLUSH. Your little ones are too cute, and look to be similar age to mine (I've got almost 6-yr old boy and 3 1/2 yr old girl). So glad you enjoyed your day off.

It looks like you had a beautiful day at the beach Melinda. You are very fortunate indeed to be enjoying such beautiful weather. xx
ReplyDelete~Melinda~
ReplyDeleteI love the ocean, but in Oregon it is flooding so I wouldn't even attempt a trip over there right now. We are moving closer to the beach however which is so exciting! We will only have 1 1/2hr drive. Yeah! Love your pictures, especially with the kids. Thanks for sharing...
Blessings,
Cindy
Sounds like a wonderful day, Melinda! Your pictures are beautiful! Your kids look so sweet! I haven't seen any sunshine for a week straight. The fog just won't lift... and it's been cold (in the 50's). :( At least is warm enough to work in the garden on Sunday though. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful week!
xoxo,
Jo :)
Oh you are so lucky living in such a beautiful climate!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of the ocean!

ReplyDeleteMelinda,
ReplyDeleteAaaah,yes, we are having some great CA weather this week! What a fun day for you and your family. I'm so glad you're out of your funk and being creative again. I guess that happens to all of us sometimes! The new silver designs are really nice. I look forward to seeing more. Hope you have a great weekend - I hope this warmness keeps up! (and I hope your Mom is doing well, too!)
Blessings,
Missy
