California dreaming (and it continues to be true) Day 2/Part 2

Answers? You will find out as you read!

First, we had to load everything up in the wagon. Now, Tatum was most concerned that she would get a ride although she had two perfectly working feet. The key was getting the two chairs, the two umbrellas, the sand toys, the ice chest, the boogie board, and the towels all in one trip. Well, leave it to my brilliant guy to make it all work.

The wagon carried the sand toys and the Tot. We carried the chairs on our backs (the had straps); I carried the umbrellas while I rolled the ice chest, and Doug wheeled the Tot and carried the boogie board. No problem!

We made it down to the sand in one trip!! Hey!!!

Doug had to run back to the room, so, slathered in sunscreen, Tot and I got a start on the sand building. It was not hot at all, so we were very cozy on the sand.

He returned and diligently got to work on our space. What a setup! This is luxury living at the beach for sure! Tot? Well she was very busy in the sand. Building and digging. It was riveting for her! Thanks to Doug and the variety of sand contraptions.

So much fun! Definitely was a bit cold after that wind!20160906_152207

What was the Tot doing? She did not even know I was gone. Her building became multiplied with Doug’s magnificent monuments!

Ok, now it was Doug’s turn to brave those waves.  Which pose you like the best?

He rode them all the way home just in time for lunch. Doug and I both had chairs, and Tot sat in the wagon! Perfect.

For some reason, Subway tastes better on the beach.

Ok, now it is time to get crazy. Frisbee. Time to teach Tatum how to throw it. 20160906_124322

This was quite hilarious. She kept throwing it the opposite direction of her aim. We ended up running after the frisbee more than Tatum! Doug and I ended up playing for quite awhile as she wanted to go back to the sand.

She told me she was feeding the whales; very sure of herself. She’d take the pail, fill it up with sand, then dump it into the water. Thereby feeding the whales! Who’da thunk!?

After a long day, we headed back to the hotel to relax. We had been running around on the beach the whole day, and we were absolutely wiped out! The bathtub, filled with sand after rinsing, was so refreshing and Doug kindly got a pic of our coziness as we sat and had a snack.

The rest of the night was Tatum going to bed, Doug and I watching O’Reilly, eating our Mexican food, and me zonking out before 9. Sorry honey.
