A few posts back, I mentioned that Adam, myself, and some friends would be venturing to the Grand Canyon. Unfortunately, because of 4th of July weekend, we weren't able to reserve a camp-site in time (as we were planning to hike down into the canyon and camp out over night). We're still planning on hiking the canyon in a few weeks, but for our 4th of July celebration, we ventured to Huntington Beach in California instead! We both agreed that the trip was too short, but lucky for us, with a few connections in California, we'll be back soon! Adam's already posted about the trip (you can read his blog here), but here are a few more pictures of our first California beach adventure! 
We're there! Huntington Beach, CA.(Less than an hour from Disney Land!)
My FIRST GLANCE at the Pacific Ocean! (Yes, we're still in the car. A picture was definitely necessary!)
The hotel where we stayed. Okay, just kidding. It's a random building across from the beach. It's gorgeous though. You definitely don't see this at the NJ shore!
The beautiful beach! It was breezy, sunny, and 80 degrees. I promise you the sand feels (and looks) different than that on the NJ coast.
Okay, it's obvious that this isn't the beach. We passed these mountains on the way to Huntington, in California! They're GORGEOUS and HUGE..perhaps about 15,000 ft!
AND, to make the drive even more interesting...right near the giant mountains were HUNDREDS of WINDMILLS. These power MASSIVE AMOUNTS of energy. It was crazy seeing so many of them along the mountain range!

Oooo! You're in my old stompin' grounds!! Just a little farther north (around the peninsula) to Redondo Beach! It is a lot different than NJ, isn't it? And there's some half-way decent skiing in those mountains! We could ski on Saturday and roller skate on the beach on Sunday! Ahh... Makes me a little homesick.
So glad you guys are getting to do so much exploring!
