Because we only lived a couple of miles from Moonlight Beach, Dad thought if you're paying for the ocean to be your backyard, you should use it. So in warm weather season, he would take you older kids to the beach every day at 4 o'clock. He had such fair skin, he insisted he would burn no matter how much sunscreen he applied if he went any earlier. I got to stay home with the babies and make dinner, etc.
Think it probably really did help all of you to be down there for an hour or two to mellow out. Would have been smart to live right there on the sand. Several years later, when some of you had already left home, the Top Gun house in Oceanside came up for rent for a good price. And was empty for some time. Should have jumped on that, but we still would have been a little crowded. Think you could ever have become a beach bum?
