Everybody up! We're going to the beach!

On Saturday morning, instead of going to our usual breakfast joint in Willow Glen, we decided to get up and head to the coast.

I woke up and said "Everybody up! We're going to the beach!"

This is a phrase that Brendan taught me. I was thinking it was a "Schleif" (Brendan's cousins) thing, but he says it's a "Grandpa Buzzy" thing. He told the story of when he was visiting G&G Buzzy in Texas, that Grandpa Buzzy would say this before going to the beach near the South Padre Islands. Then again - Brendan doesn't remember what we had for dinner last night.

If anyone (Smiths? Shleifs?) remembers more on this - please share.

We had breakfast at Zelda's in Capitola. Mattie guarded the jeep (View this photo ) while we ate breakfast. Brendan pooped in the bathroom there - which only had a curtain - not a door. He didn't like it.

After breakfast, we went to Santa Cruz. Mattie loved the beach! It was a bit cold and foggy, but we had a nice walk. Mattie believes she was almost swept away to sea.

Brendan has it right. Grampa Buzzy did get us up and going by saying this.
