Woke up yesterday, and decided that I was tired of missing the annual Blue Angels show. So, I packed a quick picnic, the boy's swim trunks, and bundled us off to Madrona Beach. Drew on my mother's teaching, and found a parking space just a few blocks from the beach. Settled our towels in a nice shady spot, and spent the next 2 1/2 hours chasing the boy up and down the beach. He likes the waves, except when they splash his face, or knock him over. Sadly, I forgot that sunblock washes off. His shoulders, and the tops of his ears, are pretty darn red this morning. As are the tops of my feet.
Unfortunately, my boy has NO interest in planes. The only vague interest he showed was the C-130 that did a low flyby *right* over us. The Angels? He couldn't have cared less. And he decided he was tired and cranky and HOME NOW! just as the show was starting. So, success in getting us out of the house, and having some fun, not so much with seeing the Angels. O well, better luck next year.

But you were out of the house.. always a good thing.

Sorry you missed the show, though.

Yes, I got big points for out of the house. And teh Bug had a blast, so I'll have to remember that style of outing, and take advantage of it in the immediate future. Probably not dropping that far south again, though. There are swimming beaches closer to us than Madrona :).
