I <3 ocean

I love the beach! I tried to go as much as possible this summer. The best beaches for surfing are in san clemente, but the best hang out/exploring beaches are in laguna. My favorite is 10th street a.k.a. Thousand Steps. It is a little piece of Hawaii in California. The sun shines brighter and the water is warmer. (probably not really, but it feels that way!) Actually, these pictures are from a trip down there with JT and Christine and it is the only time it's been cloudy in the 7 years I've been going to that beach! Even then it was still beautiful. I didn't take a ton of pictures, but there are awesome caves and rock to climb on and tide pools to look at. When I went down with Megan Allen and her sisters last week we even saw a star fish! It is just an amazing place. OH...i forgot the best part! There is a hidden ledge at the neighboring beach that is fun to walk to, climb up, and have a picnic. It is high enough to be safe from waves, but not scary. And people from the beach can't see you so it's not akward to have a little date! so fun!
There stairs are a little intimidating. (this is only half of them!!!!!)
JT and Chris working hard.

Disneyland!!!!

So... I went to Disneyland three times this summer and really only took pictures one of those days! I haven't been a diligent photographer this summer. Actually...I never am.
