Trip to Muir Beach

The kids had the day off on Columbus Day so we decided to drive to Muir Beach.  Dad needed to do a run on the trails down there to train for an upcoming race, so we decided to enjoy a day there together.  It turned out to be a perfect day.  Northern California beaches aren't always very warm, but it was in the 80's on the day we went.  Mom wished she would have brought the kids wet suits and boogie board so they could enjoy the water.  The still managed to get wet and sandy, just with their clothes on.  We had a picnic on the beach, flew kites, took naps, explored and played in the water.  It was fun to have a break from school and work and just play together.  After the beach we drove over to Mark and EJ's house.  EJ had to work, but Uncle Mark had made yummy hamburgers and hot dogs for us.  We were all hungry and they tasted really good!
