Saturday.

On Saturday, we went to the beach (by way of Nordstrom).

By the time we got to the beach, EVERY parking space and EVERY fire pit was taken. With an emphasis on EVERY. (Granted, we got there late but, they were having some kind of event at every beach and it wouldn't have mattered when we got there, unless it was at like... before sunrise.)

After missing all of the prime sun hours (not Nordstrom's fault), we finally met up with my dad and brothers. To enjoy the (cold, windy) beach.

Not our best beach trip ever.

But we did end up turning the night around and enjoying our time together. Instead of a bonfire, we had a barbecue. And instead of at the beach, it was at my grandparents' house. But it turned out okay. And we were a lot warmer.
