What a GLORIOUS day!

It's days like this that make you think "What if I have to go poop and we are in a boat in the middle of the Harbor"? Oh Gosh, seriously, days like this make me think that someone above is smilling down at me. God must love California.
We walked along the beach and took my mom to breakfast at Mrs. Olsens, the cutest little beach house turned into a great coffee shop. It is filled with locals and the walls are covered with "beach crossing" signs and some pictures of locals surfing (or waiting to surf). When you leave, if you are happy with your service, you ring a big cowbell. The boys love this part, even if we had a crabby waitress (never happens), they would ring the bell.
Next we headed back home to change into shorts and... off to the beach. We drove the convertible my mom rented down to the beach for more silly pictures. We took pictures of the boys poll vaulting using bamboo, boys buried in sand, and me being knocked over by a wave (picture will not be posted:). My mom loves silly pictures as well. She posed by "her car" and did the "go granny go" dance. The boys thought this was funny and even Nick forgot that he should be embarrassed.
After gassing up the car (highway robbery), we took off for the Harbor. We rented a boat and cruised up and down the channels. There is nothing better than this, at this point God is really happy with us (must be my moms doing). The weather was perfect, the water was flat and the company was excellent (we missed you Jim).
After a day on the ocean we decided to finish off with a light dinner on the water. We headed to the Whale's Tale for some yummy chowder and a gorgeous view. We shared some appetizers, a beer and some soda. We watched the fish jump and the birds dive. The sailboats were making their way back to their slips and they were beautiful.
What a glorious day! It couldn't have been any better. Now, if we can just get to bed without seeing the news, I will stick with my statement that God loves California.
