Okay, it was downright cold!!! And cloudy. We didn't have high hopes of actually swimming in the Pacific very much. After setting up camp and spending a few hours at the beach (on the sand-not the water) we began to realize that we had forgotten a few things.
Okay, we forgot alot of things!
Okay, I forgot alot of things. Luckily there was a Target 10 minutes away (one of the reasons I love camping there).
After purchasing sweaters for 3 of us, toothbrushes for 2 of us (I'm ashamed to admit I was part of each group) plus a camera (I was needing a new one anyways), we went to McDonald's for dinner. We were really roughing it!
When we got back to our site we got our fire going and had S'more's and hot chocolate. Yum!
Usually I am looking for an excuse to hand Violet off to someone, but not on this frigid night! She was the only thing keeping me warm. Also, I look exhausted, and it was just the start of our week-long adventure. Sheesh! Someone get me a Dr. Pepper.
Zane was dirty from the get-go! and things didn't change all week. He was filthy! That didn't slow him down, though.
Hallie was our resident Ja-wa for the week. In fact, after I did her laundry today I asked her why her pile was so small. She fessed up that she had only changed her clothes a couple times all week, and we didn't even know because she was wearing this hoodie the whole time!
Violet was so snugly and warm. I loved it! I think Hannah was trying to steal her away from me!
Grace was all smiles, even though it was so chilly. When I tried to get her to put on more clothes, she was so worried about how things would look fashion-wise. Good grief. Who cares about fashion when it's so cold? Apparently Grace does.
She gave in to hypothermia and relented to wear her blanket for warmth. At least it matched her new sweater, she said.
It was a great start to a fun week.
Tomorrow: Balboa Park.

I am intrigued! It never occurred to me to camp on the beach until a few years ago. We've still never tried it. It sounds so fun! How bad is the sand in your camping gear?
