beachin'

We took ourselves to Zuma Beach on Monday morning...easy drive there...easy parking...took a walk and then spent some time enjoying the cool breeze, warm sun, and snacks.

By about noon, we were ready to go home and realized there were bazillions of folks who had arrived for their beach-fix. It seems we could have made some bucks (sold our prime sand spot to some late arrival and our supreme parking spot was well worth $10 or so)...why did we not think to capitalize on these things until later???

Then we rode in the holiday traffic home...with miles of folks looking for parking at every beach between Zuma and Santa Monica, wacky drivers, ridiculous pedestrians crossing Highway 1 with their tents, chairs, coolers, kites, umbrellas, and floaties - all while wearing their sweetest bikini/sarong with high-heeled wedges.

We were so happy to get home safely...and was satisfied that we had enjoyed the morning to the fullest while everyone else was just heading out.

Here are some of my best impressions of a beached whale:

Here was our spot - before all the people arrived
