Well, how very fitting that on the first day of summer we .... HIT THE BEACH!!!
We headed right out after Max's swimming lesson. He did great. He swam like a champ and jumped off of the low dive on the very first try! We ran into his friend from Pre-k too! Our town is getting smaller and smaller, seems like we know someone almost everywhere we go now!
The beach was great. We went with the neighborhood gals and their boys. The boys (7 under 8 years old) and Maddie had a great time boogie boarding, racing waves and building sandcastles. The only problem was that all three of us got the big bad sunburns! I kept on putting sun screen on Max, but he really got burned anyway!!! I am going to check out the consumer reports on sun screen to find out which one was the best before our next trip out there. There were like four different families there that we know! It was cool and fun. They go once a week all summer!!!!
Tomorrow, we are off to Santa Monica for possibly what one guidebook calls the best sushi in LA! The restaurant is called the hump, I guess it is a vague reference to the Himalayas? It is supposed to be a good celeb sighting spot too! So who knows? We hope that we can get into the restaurant, if not there is a huge pan Asian restaurant underneath and they serve crickets!! We may head there instead. Our plan is to try to hit the LA farmers market and maybe the grove after lunch with Don. I'm gonna pack the cooler and some ice blocks so that whatever fresh goodies we find we can keep cool!!! Oh I heard a good joke today ... if you live in TO and you are afraid to drive to Los Angeles then you have Agouraphobia ... You are afraid to go past agoura hills!!!!
Looks like dear hubby is going to join us in Ohio for a few days toward the end of our trip!!!! He requested the days off and now I just have to get him a ticket!!! Yeahh!!!
We'll that is it for now!!! I love summertime!!!! Hugs, SoCal Trixie
