Sir Clinksalot Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 It has been warm all week and very sunny. We decided to go to the beach today to get some sun and cool off a little. Little did we know that we would just be cooling off, a lot. We left our house where it was very sunny and warm at 10:30 and drove the long distance of 10 miles to the beach. As soon as we could see the beach, it looked a little overcast. No biggie, it usually burns off. We turn onto the freeway, and yep, it was foggy. Not just a little foggy, really foggy. The last time we were at the beach was for the 4th and it was worse then, but today was still pretty foggy. We stayed at the beach for about 2 hours or so and then decided to go home to get warm. We did have fun, but it would have been nice to be able to stay at the beach most of the day. The kids played in the water, we tried to build sand castles and we just hung out. It was good to get out of the house. As soon as we left the beach, we turned onto the road to go home and what do we see? Blue sky and sun. Stupid California weather. I really am getting sick of this place! We did manage to take some pictures, so here they are.... Looking back at the beach...dumb weather.. This was the sky right as we turned to go home... Gregg laughing at me for being so bitter... Kristi still bitter about no sun... Gregg built some ocean front property Gregg in the back getting water for his sand castle.. Amanda in the water... Amanda and Josh didn't mind that the water was cold.. Amanda and I trying to build a sand castle, until the waves came up and knocked it down.. Josh had fun digging and getting sand everywhere FOG Kristi bitter about the fog...see it behind me?! It is not supposed to be foggy!!!
phazan Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 well its always foggy on ca beaches. i dont remeber anytime it wasnt. the fog only hangs out at the shore. but nice pictures!
Sir Clinksalot Posted July 24, 2005 Author Posted July 24, 2005 ^you are right, however, this was the first day ALL week that it was foggy! You think I would know this living here all my life. Oh well, it was still fun.
Hattuchili Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 A foggy day at the beach.... I think that is better than rain or very windy, like our German beaches in summer! However, it looks like the kids had so much fun, with building sand castles and playing at the water! I really like your random photo TR´s! Keep´em coming! --Sören
Mr.Six Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 LOL. Nice pics. What beach was it? It looks fimiluar :? Michael"Also hates So-Cal weather!"Thomas
WalrusMan Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 Meh, I've swam in the water at Santa Cruz in January, wasn't too bad. Except I was kind of....blueish the rest of the day.....strange......
disneygurlz2s Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 Boy, we Midwesterners have been fooled for years that CA is supposed to be this hot, sunny, beach and bikini place. Who knew? Meanwhile, it hit about 95 today here in the Ohio Valley and you could fry an egg on the sidewalk the sun was so intense. Shari "That didn't even look fun " Shoufler
Wes Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 That's what I hate about the beaches out here. Everytime I go (admittedly not alot) it's either foggy and overcast or really windy. wes (it's only 88 degrees today in the valley!)
ebl Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Having lived in Ventura County since 1986, I'm all too familiar with the weather around here. My office is just off of Hueneme Rd. in Oxnard, and when it's nice and sunny upon leaving home, it's yucky when I reach work. Just the nature of life in Ventura County! Whatever, it was nice that you got out to the beach with the kids, though. My girls are living it up in Hawaii this week. Diana's been jet skiing, parasailing, and really enjoying herself. I wish I could have joined them, but...well, I won't go into that here... Eric
SLUSHIE Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Where i Live in Nor Cal, we never have clouds durring the summer. Thats excluding the day last week where we had clouds and it rained, that was so random.
Justin Adams Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Nice photos, looks like you guys had a great time! Too bad about the fog, looks like the Bay Area most of the time. Except for this weekend, it's been blazing hot. Anyhoo, thanks for sharing, and thanks for not posting a picture of Gregg in a bathing suit. Justin
