I am tired, sun burnt and happy. The sun came out today and boy did we enjoy it. After sleeping in a bit, eating breakfast and regrouping ( as my dad always calls it) We went to explore the fun intriguing little shops here in Long Beach.
It was great fun pointing stuff out and posing for funny goofy pictures and most of all as you probably are all very tired of me saying making memories. Until looking in these shops never did I realize you can get almost anything you want with your name on it and clothing will go up if you want your current location on it. I found all sorts of neat items, but not anything I couldn't live without.
A must stop in Long Beach
We went to a fun little grocery store and I don't know why but if you are living in a cute little cabin for a week and in a quiant little beach town the fun of getting groceries is an even greater excitement. We brought home a tasty lunch of chicken, sourdough bread, fruit, and pop back to the cabin for lunch.
Sid's Market
After we ate, we headed down to the beach so James could fly his kite and the rest of us relaxed or in my case run through the surf like a maniac. It is something about the waves and the power that makes you feel amazing and refreshed. It doesn't seem like quite the right description, but I guess anyone who likes the beach will understand what I mean.
Mom took this one of me running in the surf
Also Mom's pic , James concentrating on kite flying
We went from the Seaview approach to the Long Beach approach and saw some of the kites that where there for the International kite festival. They were all in so many vibrant colors and shapes that in a way it was truly breathtaking. My favorite was the one that was a puppy chasing the soccer ball.

James took this one of me and I really love it
After looking at all the kites and deciding we were tired we went back to the cabin so we all could relax. Some took naps, others relaxed out side and if you are me you sat and read your new Jane Austen novel "Sense and Sensibility."
This is another one of mom's and I really, really like it
Around 6ish we decided that we wanted some dinner and went to a family hangout that everyone has loved for generations, Chico's pizza, it is a cute pizza parlor just up the road from where the cabin is in Seaview. We ordered two family favorite traditional pizzas and our pop sat in a both and enjoyed watching the people go in and out enjoying their summer.

It was a lovely day of adventures and sun. We ended the day with warm bubble baths in the deep bath tub and an episode of Wallace and Gromitt.
