It’s the little things…

It’s summertime and to us So Cal residents it usually means BEACH TIME! I grew up in San Diego so I had several beaches to choose from to lounge on the sand and soak up the sun or walk around the shoreline and take in the saltwater air. We’ve moved a little over an hour away from San Diego and now I know I had taken those beaches for granted. At least those beautiful beaches are still close enough for my family to enjoy!

I started to reminisce about those beaches after seeing one of McMahon Five Designs’ new digital image called Serene Sunset and best of all…IT’S ALREADY COLORED (there’s also one that isn’t colored)!!

Here’s a little photo I snapped of my sons getting ready to get in the ocean at Del Mar North Beach a couple of weeks ago:

Since it was a dog beach we also brought along our Eli. He’s still a pup at 6 months…a HUGE PUP at almost 60 lbs.!:
