September 2016 brought a heat wave.
The beach was the place to be, and the ocean warmed up to greet us.

Down south, they were enjoying hot weather and waves. In Goleta, we just had the hot weather.
But that didn’t stop us from trying….

This was a set wave….

On a hot summer evening, this was pretty darn fun.

And we didn’t have to waste a bunch of time and gas searching for it.

It was right here in our frontyard.

Beautiful and empty.

Just a couple of friends, enjoying where we live, simply.








There was plenty of time to watch the sunset between the wave sets.




Remember these warm evenings in a few months, when you’re pulling on that thick rubber suit.


Making the most of what we got.

And enjoying the little things.

Viva Goleta.
