The beaches in California are absolutely gorgeous. For the first time in my life, I got to body surf -- in the Pacific Ocean, no less. So here are a few shots from it. The sand was perfect for building things or to bury yourself in.
	On the beach in Malibu in early October! (Got to love that LA weather) (L-R): Ed, Karly, Tracy, Sarah, Eric, Maria, Rachel
	Eric gently caresses the voluptuous mermaid that Tracy made for him. Sarah must still be in the ocean somewhere...
	Let this picture speak for itself: Tracy is building a beautiful mermaid; Ed is building a gas station. Enough said.
	Let's shift now to Huntington Beach -- "Bang, You're Dead."
	This sequence of photos is just weird... but it's not what it looks like.
