Breakfast at the Beach

So, Mason and I decided that after dropping Hayden and Maisy off at the bus stop and saying goodbye, that we needed to go to the beach and walk around for a bit. See, I've spent time with all the kids before at the beach, one on one when they were little like Mason. Yet, it was at Pendleton. There is a famous story of me putting Maisy on a backpack carrier and walking the 6 mile pass to LCAC's. Well, I actually started early that day, like I did today. Got back to the truck and Maisy was red as a lobster on one side of her face because she fell asleep on the way back to the truck (3 miles.) Good stuff. So it was Mason's turn. Dad and the boy. It was nice. Today is fairly warm. So was this morning. So, we went to Onslow Beach here on base and headed South to the pier, turned around, collected shells and shiney rocks and a conch shell. Saw a lot of Dolphins out there but I couldn't get them on camera. They're too damn quick and my camera skills are too slow. I have a quick trigger finger, mind you. I just don't have a fast responding camera. I click the button and it's about a 1 second delay. Makes it tough. Anyways, Back to Mason. He actually walked the entire time. Throwing rocks into the ocean. He was a little pooped when we got home. He went right to sleep come nap time. I'm starting to think that as the weather gets better, we might just make this a regular stop. Tide was high when we got there, but was going down quick by the time we were leaving. Good shell hunting!! Took some other pictures of the Cabins and junk around there so I will post other pics of the place so you guys can actually see what the beach cabins and areas look like.

Anywho, a great time was had by all, and we even topped it off with a trip to the commissary for some groceries... ON A PAY DAY, AT THAT!! That was another adventure all in itself. We came out of there with only one or two battle scars but managed to quell the pain from that place with a pop and some cookies.
