Cooling off at the Beach

It's been pretty hot here this past week. Hot in a more humid way, which I know for people who live in real humidity is nothing, but for those of us who grew up in a desert/chaparral, it's really something! The garden is even kind of shriveling - I've been having to closely monitor the yard.

This heat leaves you looking for places to escape the heat. A few days ago we cried "uncle" and headed down to our favorite kid-friendly beach. We came back positively refreshed & renewed. I think we may need to head back down there pretty soon here!

What do you do to escape the heat?
