JJK at the Beach - sort of

Unfortunately for Jaiden this vacation included basically zero beach time.  JJK were here at a time when Hurricane Marie (maybe, I don't remember exactly) was spinning offshore and creating massive waves on south facing SoCal beaches.  Like 15 - 20 foot waves.  There were sand berms plowed into pace, there was flooding, there were surf warnings, and all the world renowned big wave surfers were in town.  But regular people, who are not strong ocean swimmers - not so much allowed in the water.

After The Gettys on Saturday we ended up at Belmont Brewery for dinner. Jodi really wanted to go somewhere she could get fresh seafood, but that also wouldn't kill me.  That is actually quite the dilemma. Belmont Brewery is right on the beach so while we waited for a table Jaiden ran out on the beach to sink her toes in the sand.  It was, however, after dark, so I don't have any pictures of her pirouetting through the sand.

Walking back up the the restaurant deck she did have to hug the wall to make way for cyclists, though.




We had a really lovely dinner (wherein Jodi did not eat seafood, but we both had some really good short ribs), and then went back to my apartment and chatted until the wee hours.
