Today we headed to the beach (Santa Cruz). In all the years Bill and I have been together, this is the first time ever he's actually gone to a beach to sit and relax (oh, apart from when we were in Maui, but there was a bar on the beach, and you can do anything with a Pina Colada inside you). I love the beach, I love the sun, I love to people watch...Bill clearly does not enjoy it. Walking from the car to the beach he bitched and moaned (which I found very amusing). Within minutes of sitting down he was up looking for a bathroom. Of course, the second he was out of sight, Ben decided he also needed to "go" - typical. After a picnic lunch, yes, Bill even ate sandwiches on the beach, and Ben had played in the ocean and Jonathan had eaten sand and paddled in the waters edge we decided to hit the Boardwalk. Unfortunately, we didn't realize how busy it would be, the lines for every ride were soooo long, sadly, Ben only got to ride a couple of "sissy rides", but, Ben and Bill did go on the gondola. I walked to the opposite end of the boardwalk to meet them...if you look closely, you can almost see Bill saying to Ben "where's your Mom, I don't see her anywhere, grrrrrrrr" - then - they saw me and the expression changed - cracked me up watching him.
