(Continued from previous post...) :]
The next, wonderful day, I awoke to a foggy morning and a report that it was supposed to be cloudy/slightly rainy at the beach--which was our plan that day while Bryce, Hills, and Carissa went to Disneyland. I had been hoping for a sunny day because I had never been to the beach when the sun was out. Still, I was not to be discouraged! We were going to the beach, and it was going to be wonderful! Haha!
We got all ready, and drove to Escondido (we were happy we could find it!) to get my beloved roommate Alissa Fred-Anne. She's so wonderful! We barged into her home, and visited for a little while with Ali and Mom (her mom, this time. I have a lot of parents :) ) before kidnapping her and taking her to Oceanside Beach. Guess what we saw when we got there.
If it had been possible, I would have been even more excited to be at the beach! :D Due to the amount of glorious, heavenly sunshine, we slathered ourselves silly with sunscreen, and while waiting for it to dry, Alissa Fred and I painted our nails with Del Sol color-changing polish. It's wonderful! My clear polish changed bright red in the sunshine, and I loved it! Oceanside is a wonderful place to just swim and play in the waves, so we spent hours swimming, dodging waves, and body-surfing. Eric brought a couple of boogie-boards, and Mike and I learned how to use them.
I'll be honest, I struggled with the boogie-board. A lot. I live 14 hours away from the nearest beach, and it takes me a while to get used to it. I did figure it out, though, after a long time of trying, and I found it to be rather fun. After a long while playing in the splendid water, we went to bask in the glorious sun, visit (Mike fell asleep...again....), and be warm. It was soooooo warm there! Eric tried to teach me to play catch with my left hand. I've never struggled so hard in my life! Re-learning to throw a football was hard enough, but left handed?!? That's just ridiculous! :)

Yeah. They're champions. :)

This girl. She's amazing. :]
After spending hour upon wonderful hour at the beach, we decided to leave and find food.
Mike and Ali modeling our beach stuffs. Mike truly was blue! :)
We went to a little Mexican restaurant there called Colima's. It was so good! Eric, Mike, and I got California Burritos and they were GINORMOUS! People walking down the street would double take at the size of them, and we could hear people talking about them...and us....awkward.... ;) Hahaha
Afterwards, we headed to....someplace....I don't know where it is. Prolly because it's a secret. Anyways, we went to a place where we could actually get a fire pit. Mike and Eric, being the men that they are, chopped wood with the hammer (weird, right?) and built the most sufficient fire I have ever seen.
And then we roasted marshmallows! And put them on the only thing we had....OREOS!!! So good! Try it! I don't know why I hadn't thought of it before!
We had so much fun visiting and being silly. Ali was the brilliant person who led us to this place. Brilliant, I tell you! She planned it so well that when the sun went down, this was our view...
(Sorry it's blurry…)
The beautiful San Diego skyline. It was wonderful! We stayed there for a long, fantastic time eating, chatting, laughing, inventing stories of kidnappings, mutilating water bottles with red-hot skewers...
...and burning gasoline. Yup. There was a family of awesome people that needed to get rid of some water-tainted gas, and they asked if they could use our fire. It was the biggest, awesomest fire ever, and they were such funny people!
Ali was oh so correct when she said I would be wiped out after a day at the beach. Eric and I visited all the way home while Mike slept, but when we arrived and sat down to watch The Road to Eldorado, I couldn't keep my eyes open. I was so wonderfully, delightfully, sublimely exhausted. Besides....I had to be ready to do it all over again the next day...
