Now I understand why the Beach Boys have so many songs about surfing...because it is SO FUN!! We had a lot of fun on our trip to San Diego and at the reunion but this post is going to be part one of our vacation and devoted strictly to our surfing lesson. It seriously was one of the funnest experiences of my life. The instructor spent a half hour with us on the beach teaching us the pop-up and other important maneuvers and then we hit the water! He would push us into a wave and we would have to paddle, pop-up and then balance ourselves on the board. Nathan did REALLY good! I did ok, not great. But it was still a really good time. We're already scheming to figure out another time we can go. I can't really claim to be a surfer girl yet but at least I got a nice tan. :) Here are some of our pictures.
Our instructor saw some dolphins that he pointed out to me. 
I finally stood up....
...only to fall again. :D Oh well. 
It at first you don't succeed...pick up your board and head back into the water. 
At least one of us was good at it! 
But he had his share of falls, too! :D 
Our instructor was awesome and really patient with how bad I was! But I did get up a few times.
