Surf's Up!

I gave Doug this coupon for Christmas, and it was finally time for him to redeem it yesterday! That picture makes me laugh every time I look at it...it almost looks real!

So we headed down 30 minutes to San Clemente, and Doug got all suited up. San Clemente Surf School was awesome- they provide everything you need. We would highly recommend them!

This is what I call the "oh crap, I'm going down" face :) I saw it many times during the day!

Doug getting up for the first time! My little surfer boy :)

Here's that face again...my favorite picture of the day!

Wipeout! 

I was very proud of Doug- he did great and it takes a lot of courage to go out there and try it...courage that I definitely do not have :) 

Afterwards, we ate a delicious lunch at Cassano's. If you like pizza and you're anywhere near San Clemente, you've got to go here. I had the spaghetti and it was so good, too!

Then we walked around and explored the town a little more. I have yet to find a beach town in Southern California that I don't love. Every one of them is different and has so much character! 

Dolphins!
