Trip to the shore

Friday, after work, Tom decided to take a trip to the shore. He had 2 guys that wanted to come and I invited a girlfriend. Plus, we had two boards inside the car and two boards on the top so it was pretty squished. My girlfriend has a really nice camera so all these photos are compliments of her. I took pictures with my camera but hers looked so much better. I thought I would show Tom's routine when we get to the beach. First, he pulls out his wetsuit and puts it on. Then he grabs his board and rubs more wax on it.

His next step is to stretch and do some warm up exercises before he runs out into the surf. Here he is with the guys stretching.

Our friend got this great pic of Tom "snapping" on the top of the wave.

We watched the guys surf for a little while and then we went for a nice walk and got dinner.

This is Tom's latest creation. Look closely at the logo, which was created for him by a friend. He is pretty happy with this board and feels it is the best he has made yet.

The happy couple. It looks like I have a basketball under my shirt.

It was such a beautiful day. I just had to put a shot of the beach just before we left. I love these long summer days...we didn't leave until after 8PM and it was still light out!

Saturday, we didn't do a whole lot, except household chores and such, but Sunday, we went to see Tom's Dad and then drove out to hang out with my side of the family. I didn't realize I was tired but it took me all of Monday to recover from all that driving on Sunday. I slept until 9AM Monday and still needed a nap in the afternoon! I know this won't be possible once the baby comes so I will just enjoy it now. Today is my checkup at the doctor and tonight we have our birthing class. Then we leave for vacation early Saturday morning! So you may not hear from me for a little while...
