The beach in Encinitas

We love Moonlight Beach. I have been going there for more than 20 years now...and never get tired of the 70 degree water, the perfect boogie-boarding waves...even how crowded it can be with 3 to 70 year old boogie-boarders.

Melinda, Hannah, Grace and I can't stay away from this beach. We all did tons of wave riding...and Grace was particularly gung-ho with both jumping the waves and boogie-boarding...she lasted longer than me this time. Our hotel, just two blocks from the beach, has a great pool also. So, it was pool, beach, pool, beach....endless...then watching Olympics in the evening. The girls and I practiced our own synchronized diving, and Grace is always perfecting swimming from one end of the pool to the other underwater, only taking one breath.
