Beach Day meets Oscar NightIt sounds like the perfect combination of two things that I love. Right? It ended up being a super fun day that was way to long.
We packed up the rented minivan and headed out to Cocoa Beach. It was a nice day. A little breezy and the water was cold enough that Joel and Jace were the only ones that got anything more than their toes wet.
In the few hours that we spent at the beach Jace managed to get completely covered with sand. He snacked on pretzels and sandwich with his sandy hands. I haven't eaten food with so much sand in it since we tried to grill steaks in a sandstorm at lake McCanaughy. Crunchy. Jace learned how to chase the crashing waves as they slid off the sand and then run up the beach as the next wave came in. At first he was definitely nervous about the water but he got a lot braver as the afternoon wore on. Eventually he was so soggy and sandy there was nothing we could do but but strip him down and run him under the shower. He and several others napped on the drive back to Orlando.
Another Oscar night without a party. That's the third year in a row! We printed ballots and made popcorn and drinks but that was as festive as we got. It was sooooooooo late by the time Hurt Locker won Best Picture. I was so tired I didn't even get to enjoy the James Cameron snub. I think next time I spend Oscar night in a different time zone I'll pick Pacific.

Pick Pacific! It's our new battle cry!
I had time to watch an episode of Project Runway after the Oscars before I went to bed.
