Sandy

I had to squeeze one more beach trip in before school starts for Blake. The rest of the family went on a beach RV trip after Piper's birth so I felt now was the time to introduce her to the beach.  Google Maps is so great because I could satellite view all the beaches to find the one with the most up-front parking. Not only does Twin Lakes State Beach in Santa Cruz have beach front parking, it has two restaurants and a coffee shop. It isn't the most scenic, but it has the amenities.

Wake up, we are at the beach.

"Blake, sit and hold your sister.  Mommy has to potty too," said me.

The water was warmer than I expected.

Reade is scared of the sound the waves make.  He stays in the sand.
