Friday Dec 31st

We got up at 9:30 am and the weather was perfect. Must have been 77 degrees or so. We decided to go to the beach...

We got showered and into our beach apparel, packed a couple of bottles of water on ice into the cooler. It was already 11:30 so we went straight to the beach. When we got there we knew we were in trouble because our regular parking lot was full, with cars waiting for spots. We went through all of the first 4  parking lots and they were all completely packed. The only one left was about a mile south down the beach so we headed for that one. That end of the beach has large boulders all over it and it is where we usually go snorkeling. We found a spot down there, parked and unloaded our gear.

We hung out there for about 2 hours until hunger pains kicked in. We then packed up our gear and went to the car and drove back up to the pier area of the beach. I found a parking space and we walked to the pier cafe and had a Hamburger. I took this video on the way to the restaurant.

After lunch we were walking on the north side of the pier and I saw these girls playing volleyball. One of them had a G-string on. I started laughing and Bonnie said video tape it for the blog, so I did. Here it is...

It was around 4:30  in the afternoon so we headed for home. Bonnie fell asleep on the sofa and I watched The Other Guy with Will Ferrill and Marky Mark. Around 7 we decided to head back down to the beach to see what kind of new years activities were happening. We went into a little bar right across the street from the Ocean and grabbed a drink.

We then took off for home to watch the rocking new years eve show with Dick Clark. Hey we are retired!
Happy New year to you guys and be safe if going out! Love you guys!
