The beach hunt

Jonah and I had yesterday off and after sleeping in a bit decided that we would like to go to the beach. Since supposedly there are beaches about 2 1/2 hours away we figured it was ok that we weren't getting an early start. We headed out and got stuck in stop and go traffic for 30 minutes. We finally made it to the first beach which was Huntington and it was packed so we continued up the coast hoping to find something a little less populated. About 2 hours later we finally found a section of beach in Malibu that only had a few people on it so we grabbed our towels, skim boards and kite and claimed a spot.

We tried skim boarding (my first time) but Jonah said the beach was too sloped so we were having a hard time.

We missed lunch because we were driving trying to find a beach so after skim boarding and flying the kite for a while we went in search of dinner. We both really wanted to find clam chowder in a bread bowl but despite looking at different places we had to settle for clam chowder in a regular bowl. All in all we learned that central coast beaches are way better than southern beaches and that Malibu is not good for skim boarding, bread bowls, or free parking.

Poor Michelle and Jonah. You look pro in the skim board photo.

Oh-no! I do have to point out that the best beach ever, Redondo, is a southern ca beach, though.
