We got up late the next morning after recovering from our gigantically wonderful meal from the night before. We checked our email, drank some coffee, read the McPaper (USA Today) and just took our time checking out. Then straight to the beach we went!
This time we tried out Huntington Beach just up the coast a little. I don't know if it's because we were by the pier or maybe that's it's a bigger surfer hangout, but there were a lot more people, and hence a lot more bird begging for food. We learned a BIG lesson yesterday: Do Not Bring Yummy-smelling Leftovers to the Beach. Omg, the birds would not leave our stuff alone!!! Fortunately, I was pretty tired and was looking forward to just sitting with our stuff and reading so we didn't really leave our stuff alone long enough for them to devour anything. Brian spent the afternoon body boarding again and getting a nice tan.

The surf is, like, totally rad!
For lunch we had leftover pizza, mashed potatoes, mushrooms, & carrot cake- yum! We also planned on keeping some stuff left for dinner on the plane for later.
After about 4 hours we had had enough. We rinsed the sand off at the surfer showers, changed in our traveling clothes, and (don't tell anyone) took our stolen towels back to the hotel before heading to the airport. (Hey, we were not about to spend another whole day at the beach without towels again! Next time, we'll suck it up and pack a towel in each of our carry-ons.)
Even though we didn't have a full day in CA yesterday we were exhausted and happy. We're even starting to plan our trip for next year!!!
Sophia had a great time with Grandma & Grandpa Johnson- she was pretty happy to see us home too!
