The Beach
5 Sep
Driving along the Pacific Coast highway 101, Clark and I looked at each other lovingly holding hands and quietly said “this is the life!”
We have begun what we hope to maintain as a weekly, or every other week tradition of visiting the Beach on Saturday. We both feel recharged for the work week and an intense rejuvination of Spirit after breathing in the Ocean air and soaking in the sun.
We both feel so blessed to live so close to the beach. What a wondeful gift God has given us to help us enjoy life!
This week we visited Carpenteria,CA which is right next door to Santa Barbara. It is quoted as being the “safest beach in the world”. It sure was beautiful! Also had a lot of funny sights included. One being a teenage girl who literally could not keep her pants up in the waves! Clark and I were rolling in laughter! She’d walk a few steps and then a wave would hit her and as it descended, so would her pants exposing her cheeks! Hahaha!!! Happened so many times, I wondered why she’d even, or anyone for that matter, bother playing in the waves wearing a two piece. Haha!!!!
Another really fun sight was a mother and her two daughters playing jump rope with a large piece of seaweed. Really cool! Another was a 7.5ft tall man playing horseshoes with a 4ft man. Later that guy put the other guy on his shoulders and walked out into the sea. After awhile I felt I was witnessing a part of a science fiction novel or movie scene. It was thoroughly enjoyable for Clark and I to just sit in our Beach chairs, the waves crashing up to our toes and just people watch. 
We also had fun boogie boarding in the waves.
Clark also made friends with a seagull who all but ate bread out of his hands. I had a blast fishing for cool unusual rocks and shells. I was very successful.
As per tradition, Clark and I got an ice-cream cone and blissfully drove along the coastline back home.
I’m in love!
