Beach :)

Well I took Andrew to the West Coast for the first time on Sunday and he loved it!! I took him to La Jolla Cove and the tide pools first.

Looking out over the ocean
He was very proud that he didn't get wet, till after dinner
We found a nice outcrop to sit on and enjoy the view
After that we went walked some more and found a nice big grassy area and did some pas de deux lifts. By the third lift we had about 15 people watching us, it was pretty funny :) Here some of what we did...
We did just a normal arabesque press lift...
...and then a lift from Swan Lake which requires a lot of trust
And then we did some ballet poses or just random stuff...
classic arabesque
dying swan from Swan Lake
something pretty :)


Assemble' off the rock
being weird
I don't know what this is...a contemporary handstand
After a fun filled day I took him to Ruby's on the Pier. I had never been there but my aunt told me I should take him there, so I did. It was sooooo good!! It's an old style 1950's burger joint and their shakes are AMAZING!!!! Then we had a nice walk along the beach in which we both got a little wet. I told him though if he got too wet I was going to strap him to the roof till he dried off ;) I showed him how to catch sand crabs, he just thought that was weird and we got to see 2 California Grey Whales swimming just off shore...that was cool!!!
Black Forest shake & Orange 50/50 shake...both were really really good!!

  1. YaY for Ruby's!! ;) they do have scrumptious shakes and they give you the extra half-glass of milkshake that doesn't fit in the nice glass too!!
    So, who's taking the pas de deux pics?? :)
    Nice poses!!
    How cool to see the whales!!
    Thanks for posting about it :)
