The spot we like to go to (at least we liked this spot pre-kids) is in Malibu. We probably won't go to the same beach anytime soon because it's pretty difficult getting there. You usually have to park far away and walk, then you have a long walk down a mountain, with spread out steps, and then tall, steep stairs. When you get to the bottom there's a lot of rock that you have to get through to get to the nice sand area. We like it, though, because it's a small cove, hardly anybody goes there, and the water is super calm. Still, carrying all of our stuff and two kids, plus a stroller down the steps and over the rocks was pretty difficult. And by the time we left, the water had risen a lot so getting back over the rocks was even harder.
It was beautiful, though, and fun. Elena had a blast.
Jorge took Elena to check out the tide pools. They saw tiny fish in them.
I didn't even put a toe in the water. I love swimming in warm oceans, but the water's not warm in California. My favorite thing to do here is relax on my towel on the nice, warm sand and just enjoy the sun and ocean sounds and smells. Samuel actually didn't like the feel of the sand on his feet, so he didn't want to be off the towel at all. And when I tried to put him on the sand he picked up his little feet as high as he could. It probably made the afternoon easier because he just hung out with me on the towels.
Jorge helped Elena build sand castles.
Elena had just watched Wall-E for the first time and it was funny seeing Samuel in his little swim outfit because it had a hood on it, and he looked like the little babies in the movie.
For awhile Jorge and I took turns relaxing while the other watched the kids. Here Jorge is on his break, even though Samuel is clearly sitting on top of him. Just goes to show that parents are never really on break, right?
