Beach life is beautiful

Every so often we need an ocean fix, so today we took the Sprinter Light Rail from Vista to Oceanside. It stops a few blocks from the beach so it was easy to walk there. The water is too cold to swim in but we took off our shoes and waded in. 

Love the beach here; when it's wet, the sand has a golden gleam.

Sometimes the waves make dramatic shapes in the sand. It's not noticeable when looking down the beach,

but when I look straight down, it's beautiful!

Today they had the Rescue ski-doo out. Nobody was in danger so it was either a false alarm or a test.

Then we walked though town, and I realized there are several stores (clothing and barbers) who cater directly to servicemen; with Camp Pendelton so close, this makes sense.
