Beach Trip

We always manage a beach trip before school starts. This one is thanks to my in-laws. They were camping for a week in Bodega Bay, North of S.F. We joined them for a couple days. The kids stayed with them for 3 extra days(due to work schedules). This was my first time camping on the beach. I've always camped in the mountains. We were on a peninsula between the bay and the ocean. It got very windy at night. The first night, the sound of the fog horn kept me awake, I had to fall asleep listing to my ipod to drown out the horn. The second night I stayed there was Williams 1st night and the kids and in-laws last night. It was so windy the tent-trailer was shaking. We watched "Murder on the Orient Express" on the computer. The sounds and the way the tent-trailer was shaking felt like we were on board a train.. It was windy and cold...but beautiful to hear the water and feel the sand in my toes. The kids had a blast collecting shells and tiny sand dollars, flying kites, getting spoiled by grandparents.
