At the Beach

Please, please, please, don't steal my last f***ing chair off of my porch at home!!!

Pacific Beach is awesome. I was able to get Mandy to ride some waves this evening while Sarah watched our kids as they played in the sand. The Shanahan clan is here as well as our new friends from North Carolina. It should be a fun weekend.

I lit a fire at the fire pit outside of our beach house tonight. We had the kid-monitors, popcorn, and two glasses of wine ready for a relaxing night. All of a sudden two of the freakiest, weirdest people came out of their beach house and started talking to us about kites. For about 90 minutes. Just kites. Kites. It turns out there is a kite festival this weekend in Pacific Beach and it brings out all of the kite freaks. They drive a PT Cruiser with a "cow" paint job. They have a "cow" kite. Do you see the possibilities of a conversation with these people? Holy sh!t!

The place we are staying in is about perfectly sized for us -- we'll take some pictures tomorrow and post them...
