It took us a long time to get out of our pajamas today. I'm still taking down xmas decorations and unpacking from our Memphis trip. It was C's first chance to really get into his new presents.
The blue sky beckoned though and we finally made it out by 2. I jimmied his bike and my 90's rollerblades into the car and we headed to Ocean Beach. (via the Submarine Center in West Portal). The Great Highway was closed to traffic - I suppose because sands had blown into the pavement, though I'm not really sure, and we skated and rolled down the street.
The ocean was incredibly calm and the day was rich with shades of blues & grays and the golden light of a late winter afternoon. The paths are too bumpy for roller blades, but C rode like a champ across the open lanes. We stopped to take in the ocean and sit in the sand. C said that he had a business called the Pacific Workshop and that he was going to turn regular paper into sandpaper. He followed up with a demo: burying a piece of paper in the sand, hitting the sand with a large chunk of rock, and then extracting the distressed paper, which indeed had a rough surface. "See, I made sandpaper!"
