Granted, it is the Pacific no matter where you enter into the water, but there is a huge difference. I generally do not go into the water in the Northwest. I appreciate it from a distance where i do not get wet, cause that SH*@ is COLD! So while I have taken the kids to the beach many times over the years in the northwest, they have not seen me indulge in water play. And let me tell you my kids are water babies for sure (see the many pictures posted here from beach trips). Rain, hail, snow, those two will be submerged in the ebb of the waters frolicking and joyous. So yesterday marked a turning point, cause i was right in there with them. LOVIN IT! See pictures under my summer 2008 cali folder for evidence.
Not to scare my NW peeps, but being back home (cause even thoug I have been in Oregon a LOOOOOOONG time, Cali will always be home to me) reminds me how much i long to come back. I miss being walking/ biking distance from the beach, i miss the milder weather, i miss the scenery, sunsets over the ocean, you name it. Never fear I will be back soon to those who miss me and care, and am contracted to be there throughout the year, so I am not fleeing yet... but someday...
i promise i will write longer blogs when i am back in the NW, but for now the beach is calling me...
