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.
