Beach Days

Sandcastle Contest @ Corona del Mar

As strange as it sounds, my favorite time for beach-going would be the fall/winter. There is definitely less of a crowd and I love wearing layers of clothing and wrapping myself in blankets while sitting on the sand and feeling the cold wind on my face. Best feeling ever! Throw in a bonfire and some smores and that my friends is my ideal beach scene! Yesterday, Marc and I went to Corona del Mar to witness the annual Sandcastle Contest. I brought my camera but when I took it out to snap photos, I realized that I had left my battery at home. It was such a fun treat to watch people build enormous sculptures out of sand especially in the freezing cold. At the conclusion of the contest, we watched everyone pack into their cars which left a deserted beach. We weren't ready to leave just yet so we sat on the rocks, listened to the waves and had a peaceful time together.

In the last 8 days, we have gone to beach 4 times. I think I went to the beach a total of 4 times during the summer. More beach trips to come soon!
