rdtrp: long beach

The last stop on my road trip. Long Beach. My friends just moved into the most perfect (and enormous) house across from the beach. Every day was full of sandy adventures with their kids and every night I was lulled to sleep by the sound of waves hitting the shore. Heaven. Also worthy of mentioning: lots of walks, farmer's market, cats on cats on cats, cocktails in the sun, late night whiskey in a gay bar, and much needed catch up time with some of my favorite people.
 We asked Mr. Lifeguard here to pose for us, for the quintessential California image. He declined because he couldn't look away from the water. Geez. Some people and their desire to help others. So annoying. Jenneykins gave her own lifeguard pose and all was right in the world...
and because I couldn't decide which cartwheel picture I liked best, I made my first ever gif. Fingers crossed for it actually working!

  1. Mr. Lifeguard was actually really rude, pheh! What matters is that your friend totally saved the photo. What an awesome beach, I'd totally have myself a nice cozy house here.

    1. I know that lifeguard very well and I can assure you that he takes his job very seriously and they are trained not to take their eyes off the water to pose for pictures, It is a great picture of him and I think the behind shot is very interesting!
