Beach Bonfire

Yesterday we had a beach bonfire at Huntington Beach State Park. It has sort of become an annual summer tradition for us. We used to have bonfires when we were in high school but then it stopped. Now, we've revived it again.

Organizing a beach bonfire is pretty simple: you just need wood, a portable barbecue grill, charcoal, hamburgers and hot dogs, cold drinks, and beach mats and chairs. There's nothing better than eating a freshly grilled cheeseburger with an ice cold soda while enjoying the cool sea breeze. Of course, let's not forget the 'smores and watching the fire. We also got to see an amazing lightning show.

Jimmy served as the grill master and the keeper of the fire. We managed to burn all the wood! Kevin, Jimmy, and I also jumped in the ocean for a bit. It was freezing cold but then it felt good after a while. There were huge waves too. It was nice to be out at the beach yesterday to escape the stifling heat. Also great to enjoy the company of friends and family over a roaring fire.
