Ocean Beach and My Birthday

We visited the beach a few times in SF.
I love California beaches and miss them a lot!
I miss the never ending beach stretching as far as the eye can see.
I miss the seaweed. I miss the sand dollars and shells.
I miss the flatness of the beach.
Eveytime I set foot onto these lovely little creations, I'm instantly transported back to my childhood of summers spent at beach houses with family.
The sights, the smell--I love it!
But, one thing I don't miss--the temperature! BRRRR!

Also, I turned 25 on the Sunday we were there. I'm old! Sunday birthday are always kind of low key and I was kind of not ready to be 25, so I was happy with the calm day we had. I ate the biggest coconut tart I've ever seen for the lovely Tartine Bakery. It was beyond description!

Happy Birthday!! What a fun way to spend it. I miss CA soooo much too. Funny, I didn't have a problem with 25, it was 27 that made me feel old. And I'm really scared for 29 next year!

I love the picture of you walking, looking down at the sand dollar. So pretty! I hope that it was a great birthday for you! And I love how you decorated your blog for Halloween! How did you do that? So fun.

I agree with you -- the Northern California beaches are amazing. I miss them very much. I love that you found all those sand dollars. They were beautiful. I am glad you got to spend your birthday with Jon and Rischel and Elise. I am sure it was a great birthday. Hugs.
