Treasure Island Park

I was always convinced that I would love to live in another state, where there are tall mountains, and the trees changes colors as the seasons changes. I imagined living in a cabin, and drinking apple cider during winter nights. I thought I could leave California...

But then I go to the beach, and realize that I could never imagine living far from it. I love the smell, the sights, the sounds, and the peacefulness of it all. How could I ever leave it? I go to the beach all the time in the summer, and every month during the winter. It's home. Even when I was growing up in Japan, I lived right next to the beach.

If only the pictures could do the Treasure Island justice. The beach had so many rocks and tide pools that it was a wonderland for me. We were trekking through the rocks, climbing boulders, and we even got stuck going through a pool of water. The waves kept crashing, and I didn't know how to avoid getting wet.

Treasure Island is located right next to Laguna beach. It's really quiet there, and I feel like it's a secret spot since there are barely anyone there. It's like a hidden gem, and I only wished I knew about it earlier.

I'm so glad Julie showed me this magical place. I just love it so much, and I know I'll be going there for years to come. I probably will never be able to leave California. I'm too much of a beach bum to be happy anywhere else. 

How could anyone not be at peace here? I can't imagine why anyone would hate the beach.

Sorry... I had to add the elephant for no reason other than the fact that I love elephants. :)
