It's funny, as I'm writing this, we're having unseasonably cold weather, and we're all freezing, so it's wonderful to remember a day, not so long ago, where it was unusually warm, we had a day off from school so we hit up the beach. We took a bit of a road trip with our cousins.....picture a pretty packed car with Elizabeth driving because I can't stand the windy roads heading to the beach, Patrick and Catherine chit-chatting non-stop with Peter sulking next to them because he's not sitting where he wants, and Lizzy and Caroline in the way back grinning and smiling because they're sitting together. We found our perfect hidden beach spot near Muir woods, hiked all the way to the beach carrying tons of bags full of god-only-knows what, and then suddenly we emerged onto the most lovely, picturesque quiet private beach, just for us. We had so much fun. We picnicked, we beach combed, we splashed in the water. Lizzy, and Peter, and Caroline found a huge rock they imagined was a pirate ship, and they played for hours on their "ship," dodging the waves and working away. Catherine had so much fun making her hands "dirty in the sand, and then washing them off in the water. Patrick snuck in a cat nap. What a gorgeous day, and so much fun! Don't waste those beautiful days people. Get out there and do something. It's always worth it!
