A visit home

 I got to go "home" to the beach for a birthday present and Oh was it fun!  I started each morning with a walk on the beach. Day 1- San Clemente beach with my friend Sue, Day 2 Corona del Mar beach then a trip to see my niece Haley play softball, Day 3 my favorite strenuous Dana Strand with lots of ups and downs  I am always happy I don't die on this one.  Day 4  eight miles of Crystal Cove sand with my friend Cherie and her adorable baby, Annalee Rose and Day 5 the Montage Resort Beach where we shared the water with a pod of dolphin, a sea lion and a leather bronzed man ( with a thong?)  I got my fill of seafood, trips to Roger's Gardens, the fragrance of orange blossoms and of course the salt air.
