Living by the Beach: What a Great Life!

February 17, 2013 By LaVonne

Spread the love

We survived a road trip to Northern California. Kind of. We learned that my 5 year old now gets car sick when she is watching a movie in the van. {Car sick to the point of throwing up. Twice. Yuck.} And doing anything for 10 hours straight with a teething baby can become torture.

But we survived. We made it!

We are living by the beach and loving it.

living by the beach

We are now settled nicely in Northern California a five minute walk from the beach. A down hill walk which is easy, the uphill walk takes about 10 minutes and gets my heart rate going. That is good for this woman’s heart! {Remember, women need exercise!}

We are living in a land of sunshine, salt water breezes and BEAUTY!

So, I am thankful that I have a new Dry Idea AdvancedDry deodorant for my days at the beach and my walks home from the beach.

    We love living by the beach, but a 5 minute walk would be much better than the 5 minute drive, but I really can’t complain. Hopefully there is no more getting car sick! Poor baby, that’s gotta be tough.

      We already live by the beach in Washington but there is something great about Northern California. This sunshine….

      Well we are here for 3 weeks and I am excited. When we travel with my husband this is exactly the kind of place we love to go to. Our next travels will take us to Arkansas. We’ll see about that…

    Glad to hear that you’re enjoying yourselves. We’re in a warm place but far away from the beach (Mountains of Mexico). Build a sand castle for me please.

      We are building sand castles galore! And we found an amazing kite at Costco for only $13. There is so much wind here, kite flying has been fun!
