San Diego Beach Sand:

Since I was just a child the idea of beach sand between the toes on a warm summer day only existed with reservoir shores sides. Somewhere between 8 and 10(I think, don't quote me on that) there was the possibility of me actually being able to see the ocean in Cali, but it never panned out. Now 16+ years later the San Diego beach was brought to me, without even stepping foot in Cali. Kinda awesome right? Yea, I get that to a lot of people think beach sand is just that "beach sand" but here and now I have only ever dreamed about being at a beach. 

Luckily I have an Awesome Brother-n-law aka (@ray.luv.music) who just so happened to be playing a show in Cali. It wasn't until after my brother-n-law left for cali that I got the idea of having him grab me some sand, but most importantly I wasn't actually being serious when I told my sister aka (@jwinblood) that I should have asked ray to grab me sand while he was there. I actually didn't give the idea of beach sand anymore thought after talking with my sister.  

Later yesterday evening my brother-n-law returned home from his shows in cali and jessie was at the house waiting for him to get is. She slowly opens my door, gives me this creepy ass look, excuse the language, but it was creepy and closes it. Being kinda weird out by my sister I head into the kitchen and as I am entering my brother-n-law comes through the door and hands me a bottle filled half way with San Diego beach sand. I am not going to lie I totally lost my shit over sand, ha, not just any sand either; it was the most soft sand I have ever had the pleasure of feeling with my finger tips.  

I couldn't believe my sister had relayed my request to Ray or the fact that he went out of his way just to fill a bottle half full of sand. I swear in is the small things in life. I now can go another 20+ years without seeing the ocean with my own eyes because I have its sand and for me that is perfect. So the next time you run your feet through beach sand or find yourself making a day bed of its presence remember it truly isn't just sand.:)

You better give me my share of the beach sand. 25+ years and I've never been. I keep dreaming about it, especially when it's about summer over where you are. The photo looks pretty though. Your brother-in-law is quite amazing. I would think it's silly if I was told to do that. It's really the little things. Happy for you. Now mail mine 😀😀

Ha, I know right. To some it would be silly but to someone like me its the best thing I have gotten all year:) It may be small and it may only fill my heart glass half way, but it is so soft, so totally worth it. :) would need to know where I am shipping this 25+ year later beach sand!

I'm currently working in some rural part of Nigeria where the "working" post office stopped working years ago. Working on taking a trip to the UK by July. I'm gonna make sure I get to a beach. I just have to

you really have a nice brother-in-law. Imagine going out of his way to get beach sand for you. Haven't been to a beach before because it's very far from my state, so next time time someone is going to the beach I will ask him/her to get me sand from the beach. I just hope they are as nice as your brother-in-law . Nice picture tho

Ha, I truly do and wouldnt wiah for a different one. I am lucky to have him as a brother-n-law.:) that and my sister who passed the message along. Truths, it never hurts to say something or even ask, who knows maybe in the end you will be surprise like me with beach sand from cali, or the nearest ocean line which ever;)
