Today Dad and I drove out to Pt. Reyes National Seashore for a little bit of beach time. Interestingly, it was the first ocean I've seen since visiting the Atlantic back in July. It was a sunny day with (for me) T-shirt kinds of temperatures. It made me glad to be back in Northern California since I've been hearing about blizzards and tornados in the central part of the country that I traveled through last summer. I think if I were back in North Dakota right now I'd at least put on a sweater.
