South Carlsbad State Beach 2012

My family ventured down to Carlsbad, CA for a week at the beach.  This is the third year in a row for us.  This year my bro-in-law Jeff and I secured 3 camping sites, which is extremely difficult.  With three sites we were able to invite a ton of people as noted in the previous post.   We had a ball.  The weather was absolutely perfect.  It was the best weather we have had in 3 years.  The sky was blue and not overcast and the usually chilly water felt magnificent.  We had a blast body boarding, sun tanning and running around in our speedos.  Ok, just Jeff, Albert and myself ran around in our speedos, apologies to anyone that saw.  Sorry I have no pics of that.  Well I plan to add photos as I get more photos.  These first pictures are from my iphone.  Hope you enjoy.  We sure did.

Chris' first trip to the beach.  Not sure he liked it or not, since the kid knows how to sleep.  He must have Foster genes.

Dinner at B.J.s Brewery.  Best pizza crust I have tasted.
