A day at the beach

On the suggestion of our friends Whitney and Nick we decided to take a Saturday at the beach! We headed out to Zuma beach in Malibu. The drive out was gorgeous!!! On our way we passed by the apartment complex where Graham and Ashley used to live. It was strange to be so familiar with that part of LA and sad to think about how close we could have been to each other! Graham and Ashley we miss you!!

We got out to the beach around 10:30am. It was pretty quite for a Saturday and we didn't have to much trouble finding parking which we heard could be the worst part of a beach day. We settled in, took a walk, and dipped our feet in the COLD water! We had packed a lunch and enjoyed eating by the ocean, enjoying the view.After lunch, we were able to spend some time in deep conversation, something we both needed and hadn't really had since the move. It is amazing what being out in God's amazing creation can do to open up the senses and allow hearts to connect again.

Just as it started to get really crowded we headed out, having had enough sun for the day. We decided we will have to invest in an umbrella if we want to spend all day out in the sun! On our way home we stopped at a little yogurt place in Malibu that we found on our visit to see Graham and Ashley last year. Yum!! It was a refreshing end to a great day!

Tonight we plan on trying Wahoo Tacos, recommended to us by a professor back home. We'll let you know what we think!


Congrats to Justin and Allison on the birth of their precious little one's! Everyone is healthy and happy! We are so excited for the four of you! Can't wait to meet them!
