We were pretty worn out from the previous 3 days, so we
slept in a bit late and were really slow getting ready to go to the beach. Malinda was a little grumpy about how slow
everyone was by the time we actually left, but she eventually got over it. We made our way there through California
traffic and got to the beach a little after 1:00. We decided to go to Huntington Beach, and it
turned out to be a great place. After
playing in the cold September ocean water for a short while, we were very glad
to don our wetsuits that we brought along.
We enjoyed hours of boogie boarding, collecting sea shells and sand
dollars, and sliding down the little sand cliffs (Abby). We attracted a few seagulls when we were
eating lunch, and one of them decided to use Elise’s head for target practice.
After playing for about four hours at the beach, we headed
back to the hotel to get cleaned up and to get some dinner. I made a quick trip to El Pollo Loco while
the kids and Malinda showered and got in PJs, and we had some yummy Mexican
fast food for dinner while relaxing to some cable TV.
Quote of the day: “The worst thing of the trip and the
funniest thing of the trip is that a seagull pooped on my head!” – Elise
