It's been crazy hot here in the last few days. So Saturday we cleared our schedule--no work & chores--and took off for the beach. As always, bliss. Especially for Ruby and David who are true beach fanatics. I got to read a little, and when I took Ruby for a walk 'n nap in the ergo I listened to some podcasts, so count me happy too.

Ruby has pretty cool beach-gear too by the way. The kite is from Mamie in France. The grey hoodie shirt is from Susan in Detroit. The black shorts are from Matt and Sakiko in Japan.
