Where is Butterfly Beach? My husband and his father, both locals, don’t know of it. Could you be referring to the beach in Goleta next to the Monarch butterfly sanctuary? That was the location of our Christmas-ish photo this year. But I don’t recall those trees being there.
So, this beach is nice and all (ya know, for California), but you really can’t compare it to any of the Michigan beaches. Nope. No.
‘Cause, ya know, that butt-r-fly beach gets really, really foggy in the morning. Yeah, can’t see your hands in front of your face, foggy. Like, oh crap, where are my hands?!
Then, in the afternoon, you get those really harsh ocean breezes. Ya know, Sou-westers. Sand gets in your eyes, ears, mouth (yeah, pretty much everywhere!)
So, uh, ya probably shouldn’t try to do that (ya know, compare ’em, the beaches). ‘Cause it just wouldn’t be fair to California. Nope. No.
You’re a cry for help-torey (if that’s your real name)!
It was probably that baby you heard crying, ya know the one, “oh I’m the only baby in the family, oh I can’t get comfortable in my car seat…oh my mom ate bratwurst then nursed me…oh a black lab sat next to me…blaaaa, blaaaa, blaaaa.”
That was the only cryin’ round here.
Heard it all before baby! Tell me somthin’ I didn’t know. Geez.
This Paul guy, though, sounds like a real hearty, salt-of-the-earth type. Right as rain. Dependable. Ya know. Yeah.
He sounds like the type more should be said about. That’d edify us all. Yup. Yeah.
I went to a beach in Cali once…it was in Goleta I think…it was beautiful to look at…but when I got off the beach my feet were covered in TAR!! It took 3 hours of wiping with baby oil to get it off…my advice…stay off the cali beaches..stick to those in MI. Or buy stock in baby oil!! Oh and that Paul guy does sound cool…perhaps you should write a book about him…

I took this while lying on my back at Butterfly Beach, yesterday.
Yes, I was wearing a sweatshirt, but the sun was shining and the waves were pounding.

By the way, what’s wrong with those two trees? Kinda sickly lookin’!
Those’d get cut down in Michigan – somethin’s likely to get spread to the other trees if ya don’t. Yup. Yeah.
alison says
Butterfly beach is just across from the Biltmore.
alison says
Paul, What are you doing up this late? Go to bed!
I love you.
long ago visitor says
Yeah, I tried that. Yup. Yeah.
Who’s Paul, anyway?!
