Church and Strand Beach

We struggled to get out of the house on time for church today. We were stiff, sore, and slow this morning.

After church and naps (Catherine, Mark, and Tracy all slept this afternoon), we went to Strand Beach for some mini golfing. It was good to get away and do some fun stuff as a family. 

We had Tracy's Canon SD880IS with us today. They say your best camera is the one you have with you. And, that is definitely true. But, I was longing for my Nikon D50 when we saw several kite surfers on this windy day. The colorful parasails and acrobatic maneuvers are a photographer's dream. And, they surf close to the beach. I did the best I could to convey a sense of the dynamic scene, but I was longing for my 300 mm telephoto lens.

It was nice to have a relaxing day as we recovered from yesterday's crash.

To all our friends in the U.S., enjoy the Super Bowl! We won't watch, as it will be the middle of the night.
