Beach Bonding.

I know, I know.
"We get it. Beaches. Enough of that."

What can I say? It's summer!

Yesterday, Nolan and I spent the day in Laguna at Thousand Steps beach. And as you may have already assumed, getting there required lots of stairs. Not exactly a thousand.. but somewhere above 200. I lost count along the way.

Still, for the bluer than blue water, foamy waves, soft sand, and lack of crowds, my legs and I would gladly make the trip again.


This beach trip was different than the others of summer because the sun was finally shining! Usually, once we get to the coast, there are gloomy, gray clouds that linger all day, but yesterday was 85 and sunny in Laguna! 


And if you hadn't guessed it... the two-hundred-however-many stairs definitely felt more like 
a thousand when we were making our way back up them. Haha


Love my "little" brother. We have so much fun together.

    1. Haha! Thanks! Yeah, we get that a lot... Once my brother ran into a friend from school while we were out together and his friend just stared at me for like 15 seconds, then looked at my brother and said "dude, she's you with long hair." Yikes - hope we aren't THAT similar hahaha ;)

    1. Thanks so much, Shio! Definitely felt like I was on the Stairmaster for like 3 hours while walking back up those things. haha

  6. I love the picture of the water splashing. I wish we lived closer to the beach! It's a 4 hour trek for us. Sigh!

  7. Awh, I love a thousand steps beach! I haven't been there in a couple years, but I'm dying to go back this summer- I think it's one of the most beautiful beaches in SoCal.
    You and your brother are so adorable! My older brother is one of my favorite beach buddies :)
