Oh, Long Beach... the location of our glamorous honeymoon (back in John's college student days). The weather was better this time than it was that December 10 years ago- rainy, but at least no storms this time!
It's called Long Beach because its the longest beach in the world, but it isn't much of a beach. To be fair, though, I've only seen it through rain. We were there about 5 minutes, then made the obligatory stop to see Jake the Alligator-Boy and let K pick up some necessities (a hermit crab and a pressed penny with a whale on it).
John wanted to take pictures of us for W's first trip to the beach but I thought it was silly because half of us didn't even get out of the car (including W and I, since I was changing her diaper!) so I didn't feel like it "counted." Besides, I'm having a Christopher-Walkin-hair-day, anyhow, and we don't need anymore pictures of THAT!
Here is a photo of Kendall with her pants rolled up (nice) after we finished at the beach.
Our trip concluded with a stop at Costco, where I successfully avoided buying one of those fancy chocolate cakes with the chocolate shavings on top...Partly because of will power and partly because I was too cheap to pay $17.00 for a cake when I know I can make the same cake with my copycat recipe for a lot less. But I won't because I'm too tired and I'd have to go to the store. Probably for the best.
