This afternoon was a real honest to goodness beach day.
We finally made it to the beach for some play time. Silver Strand is a stretch of Beach that connects Coronado to the main land. Much of the southern spit had been taken over by the Military for a training ground but there is a good stretch none the less.
So we played, soaked, played and soaked. Rosalie had a blast running into the waves and pretending she was scared to death of he tall waves coming in. (Tall = about 6" to 1 foot). The water was typical Pacific beach, on the cold side not at all like the Gulf waters. But once we got in we sort of got used to it. Had to drag the little one out when the neighbors started complaining about the loud teeth chattering sound coming from our direction.. ( not really).
After a sand rinsing we headed down toward Imperial beach were we managed to snag a decent parking spot and made a bee line for the pier. The surfers were out in force next to the pier so they made for some rather enjoyable entertainment while waiting for the sun set off the end of the pier.
We are happy to report that the sun did indeed set without too much havoc being reigned.
We had a hard time finding a place for dinner. Seems this part of Imperial Beach is not a strong hold of beach side restaurants. So, we settled for getting out of our comfort zone a bit and tried a Tia restaurant. After some consternation with the menu we settled in for a nice (successful) meal.
