sand

Fall break this year took us back to Oceanside, California. Back to the beach!

Most of our time was spent on the sand, steps away from our condo.

Not fancy by any means, but it was SO neat to be to be able to hear the ocean at all times of the day. And we were able to take our favorite canine companion along, and she did great!

An afternoon snooze.

We took frequent walks along The Strand. One night to Ruby's, the restaurant on the pier, Sophie was very concerned about the cracks between the planks!

We watched the sun disappear into the ocean.

One morning, the kids and I took a walk up to the closest train station to see the trains pass through.

They loved to feel the rush in the air as the engines came blasting by.

In the span of one hour we saw the Coaster, the Surf Line and the Sprinter pass through the station. The driver for the Sprinter opened up his window, talked to the kids and honked his horn!

Until next time...
