Beach Escapade Essay

Superior Essays
I've been thinking about the beach, waters and the sands for weeks now realizing I haven't even shared our Canyon Cove getaway yet. It is something that is worth sharing for and I can't believe I almost forget to blog about it. So without further adieu, here is the story of our first long drive (just the three of us) and beach escapade. The best part is, it was well an unplanned trip.

January was supposed to be a month for our barkada (college friends) outing. Our personal belongings were all packed for an overnight trip but something came it didn't push through. But since it's too late to cancel my leave and with the expecting daughter (the one who were super excited about the supposed trip) my husband suggested that we go on with our beach

We end up going on and off the pool and the beach swimming, taking selfies (yes selfies included haha, above and under waters) taking pictures of the scenery, having fun at the sands, finding corals and NEMO (we found a school of fishes nearby, on a 5 feet deep ocean waters) and making the most in kayaking until sunset. Here are some of our activity photos that day.

I am too slow to take pictures of them, I only catch one.

Corals, do not step on it nor destroy it.

Time check it's almost 4 in the afternoon but we're still having fun relaxing on the pool as well.

We spent most of our time in the waters as were really having fun. The sun, the wind and waters are all warm keeping us relax the whole time.

Mid afternoon shots of the blue skies. Summer...ry shot
But one of my best memorable moment on the whole trip was during sunset. It was a moment I made so many realizations. I felt a connection with the nature and repeatedly telling myself of how great God creations are and just be grateful for..... for the gift of family.

    I felt like I could lay there on the water forever and look up to the stars. To really see all of what God has created and how beautiful every little thing is. I sometimes take for granted how beautiful everything really is, just from all of the color and little details on certain things. Just took look at trees and the colors and shapes…

    The first salient moment occurred during the second day of the trip. We had just spent the entire day walking in the sand and the sun, and I was exhausted and hurting. We were all dragging, and slowing trudging through Nauset Marsh. It was just getting dark and the blood moon was rising over the beach, and the only thing I wanted to do and cared about at that moment in time was getting…

    The camp you will be staying at is off the coast of Southern California and is on the North Western side of Catalina. It is 22 miles from Los Angeles which is where you board the ship that takes you to Catalina. When you are outside (or sometimes even when you are inside), the temperature is normally really warm and sometimes humid so I would suggest bringing and applying sunscreen in the morning and after every meal. Some of the native plants are eucalyptus trees, pine trees, moss, and cherry trees. The cherries that are on Catalina Island are different than what we are used to.…

    Growing up in Southern California we spent most of our summers at Lake Havasu and Parker. For as long as I can remember, getting to spend my summers on the lake with my close friends and family was what got me through the school year, knowing that for a full month I would have no cares in the world except for what adventures lay ahead of us. As the school year came to an end, all we could think about was getting to the lake to start our last summer together before we all ventured off in separate directions. Starting to pack and load up the RV was all I could think about for days, seeing as this was the last summer we would all spend together.…

    These include the cactus finch, which feeds off the Opuntia cacti that dot the trail on the 15-minute hike to the area. Other creatures above and below the waterline that call Garrapatero Beach home are marine iguanas, sea lions, blue-footed boobies, rays, and sea turtles. Elsewhere, through the mangroves skirting the sand, is a peaceful, freshwater lagoon where you can often spot flamingoes, white-cheeked ducks, and black-nested stilts. Just past the tide pools on the beach, clear waters offer a secluded spot for snorkeling or swimming, protected from choppy waves by the bay’s crescent shape.…

    But once I got out there in the water I would gradually start to love the ocean. Each time I would get braver and go out further, as my mom sat on the beach and watch my brother and I closely. The farther out I would go the water would get this magnificent blue; for allowing you to see all types of beautiful sea shell with all sorts of colors in them, the tropical fish reminded me of the movie Finding Nemo, little pale pieces of sand dollars washed up in the waves on the banks. The sand resemble of…
