Beach Day

Today was mom's birthday, and she wanted to go kayaking and hang around at La Jolla Beach. We took a cab to La Jolla fifteen minutes away after breakfast at the coffee shop at our hotel. We got on our lifejackets and and headed to the beach. We got in our kayaks and the guy who worked there pushed us out to sea. It was fun kayaking with the waves. It was fun, and the waves swiftly carried us back into the shore. We then rented a couple boogie boards and took them back to the surf. The water was about seventy degrees- pleasant compared to Maine's Atlantic Ocean. We rode in to the shore numerous times on the waves. After our time at the beach, we ate dinner and went to a cool frozen yogurt place. The clouds finally cleared after dinner. We came back to the hotel and played some tennis. Then we watched the fireworks show across the bay while sitting by a fire on the beach. We look forward to some sleep now before our busy day at Balboa park tomorrow. Happy Birthday, Mom!

I saw a sting ray about two feet long and a foot wide! at first I thought it was just a ray or a skate but when we went to return our body boards that we had rented, I asked the guy what I'd seen and he asked how big it was. Apparently, there were two kinds of rays, bat rays and stingrays.this picture is of a ray that looks like the one we saw but it is off the internet.
