Our Annual Coastal Getaway

This is the time of year round these here parts that we get teased with things like this...

It was all great fun until a sea(weed) monster chased me down the beach. 

I did not bring my camera on our Tide Pool adventure, but we saw and got really close to a whole herd of Sea Lions bathing themselves in the sun and saw all sorts of sea anenome and starfish... amazing! 

Then home to a fun week of Dr. Seuss celebrations at school. Winnie read this whole book to Jezzie! She's a bona fide reader. Exciting times...!
