This next photo was taken before some lady stood directly in front of Quinn’s viewfinder, which caused an epic meltdown, unnoticed by said Worst Lady in the World.
Thanks to Sam, mini-blogger/photographer in training, we actually have proof that I was on this vacation. That almost never happens.
We went to a beach today because that was what Quinn wanted to do while on vacation. (Sam wanted to order room service; we did that yesterday.) We drove down the coast a ways to the coldest goddamn beach in the world. We were greeted by 800 seagulls hellbent on stealing our lunch. They were not fucking around, those birds.
We kind of assumed that no one would want to go in the FREEZING ocean, but we were wrong. (It’s like we’re new around here.) Fortunately after they ran into the ocean and got their clothes all wet, we had dry swimsuits for them to change into. We’re a little backwards around here.
Tomorrow we’re going to a lake to feed…seagulls. I’m sensing a theme for our vacation. Last time we went to this lake to feed seagulls and geese, one of the geese bit Jack on the ass. I’ll let you know how it goes tomorrow!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the picture of you and Alex.
I love the picture of you and Alex! Who’s the prettiest ever? That’s right, it’s Alex!
Love the pictures! You know, one thing I’ll never forget about my visit to San Fran is the seagulls. They were ravenous…and totally say, “Mine! Mine!” When someone has food. Good luck with them today!!
So Mark Twain knew what he was talking about.
I like the ragamuffin picture. But I kind of want to photoshop a “McKayla’s Not Impressed” pic onto it.
I think you have two Christmas card photos there – the one of the boys and the one of you and Alex. It’s perfect.
Good luck avoiding the ass-biting seagulls today!
I am cold just looking at that last picture. Brrr.
Forget the kids! Use that pic of you and Alex on your Christmas cards — it’s fab!!
You need to go further south for warm beaches – try Seabright beach in Santa Cruz :)
I am positive that I have stood at that exact wall in front of the Golden Gate. If digital pictures had been invented then and not just print pictures that are at my mom’s house in Texas, then I could prove it. (And yes, I assume that just about everyone who has been to the Golden Gate has stood there too.)
You are really making me miss California right now!! Sorry the beach was so cold, but that’s the nature of the beast up there in the north. I have to disagree with you on one thing, I think the pic of the boys playing in the water is your Xmas card, I love it!
I love you.
But don’t you think they’d look even colder on a Christmas card with snowflakes on it?
It is extremely likely that you have virtually the exact same photo. :)
We considered Santa Cruz, but instead opted for a shorter drive. But not really all that much shorter. Next time!
Thanks!
Right?
I think you misread that. We’re HOPING FOR ass-biting seagulls. More fun that way.
Ha! That would totally work.
That is EXACTLY what they are doing. Disney knew what they were talking about.
Thanks!!
What a GREAT picture of you and Alex! THAT should be the Christmas card!
I was going to comment that the picture of you and Alex is really nice and that you look especially pretty in it but I see everyone else already said that so never mind. Also there will be a really jealous 9 year old at my house when she finds out that her friends went to the Golden Gate Bridge.
Future members of the Polar Bear Club! Love it!
Awww, welcome to San Francisco! That’s where we live! Can’t say I’ve seen a lick of sun this summer. In fact, I can hardly even believe people have actually been experiencing summer in other places since its been averaging on 60 and foggy for the past two months! Hope you enjoyed yourself!
