first day of FALL

Fall in California is probably unlike fall in any other part of our beautiful country.  There is no abundance of colorful leaves falling from trees.  No cool mornings.  No sweaters.  No cups of cocoa or hot cider.  When fall arrives here we have been back to school for a short couple of weeks, still experiencing heat waves and not wearing any of the new school clothes because it is just to darn HOT!

The Mr. and I decided to take our hot selves straight to the beach.  The heatwave had become unbearable.  I think it was 111 that day......


When we arrived it was a bearable 80something and foggy.  We had the deserted beach to ourselves!



It was kind of creepy....I was NOT going out in the water!
I knew Jaws was out there waiting for me!









eventually the sun came out blazing hot and we spent the rest of the afternoon swimming!
