Luna doesn’t quite know what to make of the big waves and she approaches them quite cautiously.
Once she wet, she’s all in!

Bioluminescent Waves in Encinitas
Posted in Random, Science, tagged Beach, Bioluminescence on October 5, 2011| 1 Comment »
This weekend we went to Encinitas to see a rare ocean phenomena known as bioluminescence caused by a red tide.
By day, a red tide is unsightly and uninviting, with water the color of coffee. But at night, during this unusual phenomenon caused by a plankton bloom, the waves are a brilliant, almost neon blue. This wonderfully surreal scene has played out almost nightly along San Diego beaches for the last few weeks.
Here are a couple of cool pictures of what we saw. The waves were coming about every 30 seconds and we spent almost two hours watching.
Here is a picture of Anjali and the kids (and Lizzy).
Costa Rica Adventure – Manuel Antonio
Posted in Vacation, tagged Beach, Costa Rica, Discovery Beach House, Manuel Antonio, Swimming, Vacation on August 23, 2009| 2 Comments »
We just got back from a week of vacation in Costa Rica. This time we rented a beach house in Manuel Antonio Beach. Manuel Antonio is a small beach town about a 3+ hour drive from the capital city of San Jose in Costa Rica. We rented a car at the local Budget and drove the 130km to our slice of paradise.
Here are some pictures of the kids on the beach behind the house.
Each day we built a (bigger and bigger) sand castle in the hopes of battling the high tides. Each morning we would come out to see the waves had wiped clean our hard-work!
One of the features of the beach house was the daily monkey crossing. We got to see a troop of monkeys crossing thru the back yard. The monkeys would stop by pretty much every afternoon for plantains and flowers.
In between the beach and the monkey sightings, we enjoyed the wonderful backyard and pool.
During the week, we also did a day of white water rafting and one day of a canopy tour. I’ll post those pics separately.

Now that school is out, the kids are at the pool or beach almost every day. Here they are at Corona Del Mar beach with their friends.

This week, Anjali took the kids to Newport Beach for the day. They went with their friends, Zach, Belle, Sam, Brandon, Ryan, Andrew and Adam.
The beach is about 20 minutes from our house and the waves are perfect for their favorite activity “Boogey boarding”. This is almost like surfing except with a foam board that is easier to learn!
