Beach bums

We’ve had a lot of fog around here lately. Nine straight days of fog, in fact. Most mornings we wake up to fog, then there are varying degrees of fog during the day, and fog at night. Too much fog! So in attempt to escape the fog and just do something a bit different, last Wednesday I grabbed Jackson and we headed off on a little beach adventure.

Once we got farther inland, the fog disappeared and we had sunny blue skies on our drive to the beach. Yay! But we got stuck behind a truck painting the yellow lines on the highway. Boo! So I decided to pull over and take some pictures. I’ve been wanting to take pictures here for the longest time, and now I finally got my pics :-)

Once I figured the truck was far enough ahead, we continued on our way to the beach. And we did manage to avoid the truck, but not so lucky about the fog!

It wasn’t so bad, though. With the fog all around us, it felt like we were the only people on the beach. Well, us and this seagull…

It looks like this rock has a big pink crazy hairdo!

We could hear the waves, we just couldn’t see them very well.

Strike a pose, Jackson!

So in the end we didn’t really escape the fog, but Jackson and I had a relaxing and peaceful afternoon together being beach bums :-)

We finally did have some sunny days – three straight days, in fact! – but as I’m writing this blog post, we’re surrounded by fog again today. Oh well, what can you do!
