Seal Beach

During our trip to California were spent a day at Seal Beach. My aunt and uncle have a house at the beach and even though they were out of town, they allowed us to use the house for the day.

I love Seal Beach, they have a great Main Street with some cute shops and really great places to eat. There is a nice long pier to walk down, a playground right out of the sand where you can still see the ocean, and best of all it is never crowded or dirty.

The weather was beautiful again and I was mistakenly deceived into not putting sunscreen on myself or the kids. Luckily I got the worst of it and Josh only got a little pink on his cheeks. Emma loved the water and Josh loved the sand. Emma loved the sand and Josh did NOT love the water. I don't blame the kid, it was freezing! Despite a little wind, a sunburnt Jill, and cold water we had a terrific day.
