When friends talk of going to the beach for a little fun and a picnic lunch, we take things serious.<\/p>\n

My little tote held my packed lunch on the inside complete with ice to keep things chilled.\u00a0 And the pocket on the front held my sunscreen, phone and everything else I needed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I arrived a bit earlier than my friend.\u00a0 The sun was working hard on the coast to burn off the haze.\u00a0 It was so crazy as it was beautiful sunny skies just miles from here.<\/p>\n

This is the spot where I landed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dominique is his name, we became really good buddies.\u00a0 He came up to me saying “off”.\u00a0 He wanted help taking off his little jacket.\u00a0 He was such a little cutie pie.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Soon my friend arrived and we were in the full swing of beach mode.\u00a0 Our little picnic lunch\u00a0was enjoyed\u00a0around 11:30.\u00a0 There was a little catching up to be done, mags to look at and visits in-between.\u00a0 I think the pounding of the surf was one of our favorite things about today.\u00a0 It was soothing, which made for\u00a0one of those nice relaxing\u00a0kind of days.<\/p>\n

What not to do at the beach.\u00a0 Do not leave your belongings and food hanging out unattended.\u00a0 These guys will rob you before you have a chance to shoo them away.\u00a0 In the end, the girls had no food left and their drinks were\u00a0all knocked over.\u00a0 At least they came back to this spot laughing at the mess left behind.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yup – he’s looking pretty guilty to me.\u00a0 We even saw one of these guys take a sandwich that was in a ziplock bag from a couple who were right there with their belongings.\u00a0 They were not paying attention and the little rascal reached right into their beach bag and stole the whole sandwich.\u00a0\u00a0The guy was too slow, but he did get to witness the birds feast on his lunch.\u00a0 Oh, he did yell too, but by then, it was a little\u00a0too late.\u00a0 And I don’t think he hurt the birds feelings either.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before we knew it, it was 3 o’clock,\u00a0the time\u00a0for us to wrap it up and call it a day.\u00a0 It was one of those moments where we just wanted to hit the snooze button on the time and hunker there a little longer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What makes it all better, is the fact that we’ve already scheduled our next day at the beach.<\/p>\n
