Morning on the Beach

Who doesn't love the beach? Whenever I visited the beach in the past, especially in southern California, I always wished I had some reason to live close. My parents left late Monday morning, but first we drove out to the beach! It was so cool to realize how close we live! Even with traffic (bad traffic) it only took us about half an hour to drive there.

Violet seemed a little nervous. I'm sure it was loud and smelled different to her, and she just stayed snuggled up to us and wrapped in a blanket the whole time. I have big plans to drive out to the beach some morning, just the two of us, once Glenn has left for school and the traffic has died down. I'll bring a book and a picnic!

  4. The reason I said "This is Courtney, btw" is because I thought i was signed into Mom's.
