Hangin' with baby clams at Manhattan Beach

We had just left Las Vegas, NV
after a 36 hour stay with NO GAMBLING:


















and drove straight to Manhattan Beach, CA. What a beautiful Sunday! The weather was perfect. Noodles and I went down to Manhattan Beach to get some Volleyball practice in before visiting our friends in Torrance. Before any practice started, we decided that we were hungry. We stopped off at one of our all-time favorite joints in Manhattan Beach, Uncle Bills Pancake House, to have a BLT on whole wheat bread with sweet potato fries. MMMM. Noodles got Avocado and a thin layer of Mayo on hers, YUCK! I went dry. I got myself an Arnold Palmer, while noodles stuck with the free water. When we finished our meal, we headed down to the beach to knock the ball around. Before practice, we decided to head into the water where we found the neatest thing: Baby Clams



These little guys are so cool! When you walk in the sand, you feel them under your feet like little pebbles. I hope we didn't crush any of them, but if we did, there were millions more that we didn't crush. Seeing them wriggle through the sand was amazing. When we had our fill of the clams, we finally hit the beach volleyball practice. And Noodles got her serve down! What a great adventure! Now, to prepare for our next huge adventure when Sauce and Noodles travel to South Florida for a week of sand and sun, oh wait that's our life all the time! Nevermind.
