Sand Sculpting Challenge Exhibition in San Diego

What a lovely day!  Especially, when you get a day off on Labor Day!  Then, why not enjoy San Diego – after all, it’s spectacular! So, we went to downtown San Diego, where it sure is lovely, and saw that they had a Sand Sculpting Exhibition.  What a fabulous exhibition, and all the artists are so very talented!  Amazing work!

This first picture is my favorite, so appropriate as it sure is a Rat Race, and I’m sure happy that the worker is honored this Labor Day – as I got the day off!  I appreciate it.

Where’s This Beach…Hope It’s Within Reach! It’s in Oceanside!

Oceanside Beach, CA

No, well, I think you know it by now, as I put it in the title and in the captions……it’s in Oceanside, California, which is just 45 minutes north or so of downtown San Diego.  Oh, this beach is so stunning and one of my latest joys and discoveries.  You can live by a place, but not even visit it or know of it’s beauty, until one day you stumble upon a part of it, and instantly think, wow, this is so beautiful, how could I never have visited this place before, or even known how beautiful?  So, now, I go back to this beautiful beach as often as I can.  Here are more pictures.

Beautiful park by Paradise on the Beach (that’s just my name for it) – it’s actually called Tyson’s Park – I believe.
