Beach day!

A couple of weekends ago I went to the beach with friends. It had been beautiful weather all week and I was looking forward to sunshine and getting my tan on.  We had a sleep over at Amy's house on Friday night so we could be up early and headed for the beach to celebrate our friend Amy's last weekend in the states for a few months (she went to south America to help in orphanages for the summer,yep only the coolest people are my friends). On the way we enjoyed some dumdums and posed for the camera...surprisingly Annemarie is more camera crazy than I am and she took all the photos of the weekend so thanks to her for the photos.

When we got to the beach we found the weather was less than ideal for swimming. The sail boats were having an amazing day though and they were beautiful to watch. 

We decided to brave the water anyway, in true California style and got in in spite of the grey day.  We were totally blown away when we were joined by these folks. An organization which helps paraplegics learn to surf. It was really cool to watch them as the had the opportunity to do something they otherwise couldn't have done. 

I feel like this picture doesn't due the awfulness of this view justice. Thankfully Annemarie got this shot to add to my hideous beach pictures shots. This woman should never have bought that bikini. 

After a swim and some time on the sand we were all so cold we were ready to head out and grab some hot chocolate. My lips may have been blue but it was all worth it in the name of a  good day with good friends.
