sunshine!

ok, as much as i say i love the weather here, it's gotten old. we happened to pick {literally} the only city south of san francisco that gets fog ALL the time. if you drive one exit down on the freeway, it's at least 10 degrees warmer and sunny. not even exaggerating. one exit. it's obnoxious. so when our lease is up, we are moving outta here! 

so, we usually drive about 10 minutes south to enjoy the sunshine, walking down tree lined streets, eating on the patio at restaurants and going to the beach. 

today we chose to go to the beach. it was awesome. i wore a swim suit. you may think "oh that's not a big deal, it's august you should be wearing a swimsuit", but it is. the average temperature of our city we live in is 63 degrees. not swimsuit weather. sweatshirt and boots weather {which i do love too, i will admit}. but sometimes, you just need sunshine & the beach. 

doesn't he just look so happy? that's because he's at the beach. 

this place is AMAZING! playgrounds, sand, grass, picnic areas, and warm {not deathly cold} pacific water. 

doesn't it just look like heaven? it was. had it not been a bit windy, it would have been the perfect temperature of 75 degrees. 

zak was loving it. being able to go from chasing birds to playing in the water, to going down the slide, playing with the kayaks etc. etc. he was golden for 2 hours. 

we love warmer weather. if you live here, and you want to know our secret spot let me know! 

p.s. do you love my new blogg-iness? because i do. it's tacky to ask i know, but i just like to look at it. it  makes me feel happy. =)
