One of my very best friends, Mike, flew in from Maui last week. I haven't seen him since Dec 2006 (I was 6 weeks pregnant) so this was his first time meeting Azure. Over the weekend we went to Santa Cruz and went Sea Glass hunting with some old friends. I really didn't think it was gonna be that much fun... splashing around in the pacific in the middle of Dec? It ended up being one of the most fun days ever!!! Like Mike says, "The reason why you haven't done this before is because you haven't done this before", meaning if you knew how much fun it was you'd be out there all the time. For those of you that don't know, here is the definition of Sea Glass:
Sea glass (also called beach glass) is glass from old broken bottles, vases, windows of wrecked ships, etc. that has been worn down and etched by the sea and sand over hundreds of years. This glass is smooth (with no sharp edges) and looks like beautifully sand-blasted glass with a soft patina. Pieces of this glass are collected on beaches and often made into jewelry items. Brown, deep green and clear are the most common colors of sea glass; after these come blue, amber and aqua. Rare colors include pink, red, purple, light yellow, and sea green.
