Beachy Christmas

 After lazily opening presents and eating breakfast we headed to the beach--we may have all gotten each other books that we would happily bury ourselves in for hours but it seemed terrible to ignore a lovely 80 degree Christmas. 

 We stopped at Halona to look for whales, but didn't see any today.  The waves were big and the blowhole was really going though.  Case was less impressed than dozens of Japanese tourists.

 Then on to our beach, which we nearly had to ourselves. 

A friend was telling me how much she missed seasons the other day.  She really wanted to make a snowman with her kid.  We may not have Frosty here, but I like our buddy Arenaceous the Sandman much better.
