Beaches

When we were on our California vacation we visited a few beaches along the coast from San Francisco down to San Diego. Sue, evidently, had decided to take a small collection of sand and rocks from the various beaches. After we got home she put the sand from each beach in a little glass bottle. There are 3 more bottles not shown here. The rocks were to go in the various aquariums.

When we packed our bags to leave California we had bags of sand and bags of rocks inside. I weighed the 2 checked bags. One was slightly overweight. The other was slightly underweight. I was able to adjust contents to get each bag just slightly underweight.

When we checked in at the airport the gal at the counter noticed that the bags were kind of heavy. She said, “Have you got books in there.”

I said, “No, it’s rocks.”

She looked at me kind of funny and said, “What, you don’t have rocks in Illinois?”
