Beach Cottage

the view from the house. the beach was a hop skip and a jump away. it was nice to watch wave and surfers in the morning with my coffee.

it had a nice lawn for the kids to run around and act like fools.

the best part was the private outdoor shower in the back. i used that many times.

Sea and Sand

a really cool plant i grabbed that was sticking out of the shore

jack with a wad of seaweed

hello toes

hello from me. my four days were lovely in carlsbad. we went to the beach everyday which was really nice. the surf was intense although i didnt capture it that way.the was a storm in new zealand which created huge waves which meant lots of surfers.when i was young i would not hesitate to put my fins on and grab my body board. my mom kept telling me you better not go out there its dangerous. its a good thing she never saw some of the surf i rode. i may have said this before but i actually have had a concussion from body boarding. oh but that was a long time ago in my mid twenties when there was nothing to lose. there was also a great white shark sighting and two nearby beaches were closed down too. how exciting? there was also a trip to seaworld where at some points i wanted to sell my children. anyway it was nice to get away.
