Santa Barbara

The sun finally burned off the marine layer yesterday afternoon and the clear light, deep sky and crashing waves beckoned us to the beach.

We're a giggly brood anyway, and the chill ocean and sun brought out the belly laughs. Erica stood at the water's edge and talked to the waves, and Halle and Kai ran down the sand. Carlton dug a hole for his feet and observed us like a Buddha under his Ohio State hat, and I got sand in my teeth from grinning.
