Spring break rolled around for the kids already.  So we headed down to San Diego for a few days.  Seeing my folks always involve drinking.  Here's my mom. ^_^


The kids wanted to go to the beach so we went to Torrey Pines State Beach.  When we used to live in SD we went to this beach a lot, but it's been at least a couple years since our last visit.


One reason I chose this beach was my hopes for pebbles on the sand.  Jackpot!  Rocks!  Usually in the spring, the pebbles are exposed and I like collecting them.  They're pretty around my plants.


My girls have inherited the "collecting & gathering" gene. ^_^

Despite my warning that it was going to be chilly, they still wanted to go.  So I told them to bring a jacket.  I guess Sage wasn't listening.  And he was cold.  So he made a small wall out of rocks and found a warm rock to cuddle up next to for warmth.

And then found some warm rocks to lay on.
