Our saturday trip

Trevor had a saturday off. Unbelievable I know. So we decided we wanted to go to Half Moon Bay. Triniti has been bugging us to go to the beach for so long. We haven't gone in awhile because of Dayton being a baby. So anyways we decided to go yesterday. It had been 100 degrees the day before and was looking to be a scorcher yesterday also. We all seemed to have cabin fever! We made the terrible mistake of, well first of all going to the beach on a hot, hot saturday, but also in the middle of the afternoon. Oh well. So a 30 minute drive took 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours. We were not able to go to our usual state beach, because the park rangers were turning cars away. So we just kept driving up HWY 1 towards Santa Cruz. At this point the kids are really restless, being that they can see the beach and ocean and we are not stopping. We finally arrive at one that has 1 parking space. It was not packed. It took about 10 minutes to walk from the car to a spot on the beach. Now our beach, and we say "our beach" because I have been going to the same beach in Half moon bay for 20 years. It is just a few steps from the car to the beach. So this new beach was quite a trek. Triniti and Everett were super excited. Dayton was not. He absolutely freaked out when I stood him on the sand. And it was extremely windy on the beach. So windy in fact that sand was flying in our eyes and mouth. We had bought a tent and that is where me and Dayton spent most of our time. He would try to walk out of the tent and than would step on the sand and freeze. So needless to say we only stayed a few hours. All in all it was an OK trip. I think we will wait and go to the beach in August when Dayton is a better walker and maybe he won't be so scared! I did take pictures, but old school pictures. I have to take them and get them developed! Oh my!
