Memorial Day Nakedness

If you've lived in San Diego for any amount of time you are for sure familiar with a lovely secluded surf spot called Blacks Beach.

This quiet beach is also the home of naked old men. Yes my friends, it's a nude beach self-designated by the nudists themselves. And when we decided to go for a morning hike down to the water we weren't spared from a lovely show of old naked men busily searching for the perfect spot to sit their old saggy buns and watch the waves (or nervously hope that someone is watching them because let's face it people, old men who walk around on a beach naked have some serious exhibitionist creep vibes going on). In fact, this man in particular passed us on the way down and there was no question he was on his way to dropping his drawers when he walked by us wearing only a flannel shirt, a big floppy hat, and some little black chonies.

Anyway... besides being almost blinded by old man bare bottoms, we had a really good time! (I shouldn't complain to much about naked old men on public beaches on Memorial Day because for as much as I know they could have fought to keep that beach public -- or maybe they dodged the draft... hmm...) We only made it half way down. It's a pretty steep walk both ways so we decided to turn around half way (and it was a good thing we did because half way back up Max got a case of the whines and wanted to be carried -- we did not indulge for safety reasons. I didn't really feel like tumbling down an ocean cliff that day).


Max had a great time hunting for pirates and watching the dolphins we saw swimming next to some surfers. Lia was as happy as a clam. She loves being outside and being busy (just like Max) so it's not hard to keep her smiling. And Tyler was a trooper for carrying her the whole time in the Bjorn.


Max made Tyler stand there and told me to take a family picture. I thought it was really cute. He totally tells me when to take pictures now and poses for me, too.

Afterwards we came home and took naps and Max and I washed the car. When Lia woke up from her nap we went and bought some vegetable plants, dirt and pots to make a little garden on our balcony (pictures to come). And for dinner we had a nice little cook-out with our neighbors. Danielle came over, too, which just about made Max's whole day! Oh! And then for dessert me, Danielle and Brooke went to BJ's for a pozookie. Don't know what it is? Google it. Trust me. It's worth it.

We had a great little family weekend. Makes me think of summer and all the fun we'll have! Happy Memorial Day!
