Ain't No Good Sleepin' on Highway 1
The beach was nice. The weather was nearly perfect every day. We had some great family times together...watched some baseball, played games. The food was great as always. Is there anything better than eating fish while enjoying an ocean view? Lisa and I even enjoyed shopping together and we are, neither one, much on shopping. But just having time together with those you love is special, no matter the shared activity. Well, maybe I wouldn't enjoy Couples Acupuncture so much.James had a blast. His wonderful Grandma took him down to the beach every morning so that he could play in the sand and his mommy and daddy could (try to) sleep. This year, the boy discovered the pleasure of performing great engineering projects in the sand. He would dig deep holes, down to where the water was. Then he would begin constructing little rivulets that would take the water back down to the ocean. Filling up his buckets from the Pacific, he would make little rivers and dams. It was quite the production. He also enjoyed walking on the beach, running on the beach, driving his RC jeep on the beach, and pretty much anything associated with the beach. Except boogie boarding. He tried twice to work up his nerve, but the ocean was still just a little too intimdating. We'll try again another time.
Really, the only drawback to the whole week was that our rental house was located right on Dolliver Street. And for those of you who don't know Pismo Beach, Dolliver Street = Highway 1. Two of the bedrooms were at the front of the house, which meant that each night we were attempting to sleep about 15 feet from whooshing motorcycles and big rigs, their headlights illuminating our room like a scene from Close Encounters. A daunting task, you say? Now imagine trying to do that about a year and a half after a car rammed into your house. Now you're beginning to understand why we just want to spend this week sleeping.
Well, sleeping and reading Harry Potter. Halfway done. Gotta go.

So I guess if you are done with Harry Potter, then you do not know yet that J.K. Rowlings surprising killed off...
That should of read "are NOT done". Good thing you are not an English teacher. :)
Together time? Lovely. Together time at the beach? Awesome. I'm still glad you're back. My blog-life was getting boring.
So, the Harry Potter speculations on my blog? The stuff I dreamed up, dismissed and didn't blog about? It happens. I hate it when I'm right.
With the headlights and noise from the highway after a hair-raising experience like you had at your house, I'm surprised you slept at all!
Glad you had such a good time. I love the beach. I've already been (went in May), but I wanna go back right now!
