Sun, Sand...

That's right, I went to the beach this weekend. It was for my friend's 18th birthday! Yay! So since I don't have a car, I took the train on Friday night to Pomona, where they picked me up. I spent the night Friday, and Saturday, then went home today. We had a blast!!! We got the beach Saturday morning at around 11:45, ate lunch, hung out, sunbathed, while we waited for people to arrive. Once the first couple showed up, Shellie(my friend) and her brother Doug, went to go play volleyball(I, sadly, don't play, so I watched :) ). More people came over the next couple of hours, some of which I knew, but hadn't seen in a while, so it was nice to be able to catch up with them. And it was nice to meet the people I didn 't know. Unfortunately, we couldn't get in the water. Apparently there's been a sewage leak recently, so the bacteria levels in the water were higher than was deemed healthy by the state, so there were signs saying you'd probably get sick if you got in the water. :( oh well, we talked, and ate pizza, and just hung out. After it got dark, we lit a fire and had s'mores, and opened presents. When we walked down to the pier, we saw cool drawings in the sand, and one of the girls wrote "throw money!" with an arrow pointing to where she was standing, and on grouop of people actually did!!! it was funny. All in all it was a very good weekend, and on the waqy home today I got a chance to experience the trip from Union Station to Northridge, without being able to take the Northridge train, as it doesn't run on the weekends, so instead, I got to take the subway, and a bus. But, it was cheaper, and not at all hard, so it worked out. :) I will put up pictures as soon as I figure out how to get them off my phone. Help in that area would be appreciated, even if it means paying a little bit more money to send some in a text to a phone with internet service. :)
