Yultide

CHRISTMAS DAY:  Another Christmas come and gone. We spent part of the day ocean side. It's always great to see the powerful Pacific Ocean.

Yesterday was one of those four-seasons-in-five-minutes type of weather days. When we arrived at the beach, a beautiful rainbow was arcing overhead.
But as you can see here, there were also some rather menacing looking storm clouds in the area.
The walkway down to the beach at Don Davis Memorial Park includes several memorials to the Vietnam War.
Down by the beach, we stopped to check out some super interesting rock formations. 
 We were wishing Uncle Jim the geologist was along, so we'd have a better idea of what we were looking at.
There was an interesting assortment of people on the beach, including a woman with a bag of bread, surrounded by seagulls, and a woman sitting on a blanket, drinking a bottle of champagne, while her Chihuahua barked incessantly at everyone/thing.

The kids used the wide open space to get some Nerf war action in. 

And, of course, we stopped to contemplate the crashing waves.
The kids were happy that Santa found them, despite them being hundreds of miles from home. 
Of course, how could he miss this glorious tree?!
So pretty!
Happy faces on Christmas morning. Merry, merry, everyone!
