August 22, 1967: The beach

Diary entry for August 22, 1967:


Early in AM went to grocery store. Also bought three books. Then David Wayne and I went to Santa Monica beach. It was the first time I had driven any distance from home and I was nervous, but we made it! David Wayne loved beach and he was not scared to go into water by himself. We had a good time and lots of sun.

I'm glad to see Mom driving further from the apartment. That should lead to some more weekday adventures.

Although I couldn't swim at that age I know I liked to play around in swimming pools, so I must have viewed the ocean as a big swimming pool/sandbox combo. I assume Mom didn't let me go out so deep in the ocean that I got knocked over by incoming waves.
