We are loving the fact that our beaches are less crowded now that school is in session and the Inlanders aren't coming in droves each weekend. Since it was too hot and dry to be indoors, we spent the majority of the weekend at the beach. Off-shore winds made the sound of the waves crashing seem majestic and the excess spray super beautiful. My photography skills (or lack thereof) and poor camera don't do it justice.
See the spray coming off the line (below)?
We enjoyed breakfast and kite flying next to a really neat German couple. It made me miss the Germans we know. :) They have boys with the same age difference we have, though theirs are 5 or so years older. So we had some fun things to talk about!
Gavin even got in on the kite action a little, too.
Then, we spotted a classic car show at the elementary school a block over. This is the school's black top/basketball court area...right on the sand. (I'd love it as a student, but can you imagine the vigilance you'd have to have as a teacher to make sure all students were safe and accounted for in this open, public area?!) Anyhow, the cars were beeeutiful and I was wiping drool from Rudy's mouth on one of them in particular.
After hitting up the bounce house and checking out the the cars, we had fun with this map. He sure knows where 4 of the 50 are!
CA and IL are obvious ones...but I'd be remiss if he didn't know where SD and OR were! :)
Aside from the recent heat, we've loved the cooler temps and brisk mornings! Can't believe it's already fall and soon we'll be hitting up a pumpkin patch (like maybe this afternoon!).
