I was born and raised in San Diego, CA. I loved the beach. Absolutely loved the beach!!! Growing up I went to the beach every chance I got. If the weather was good during Christmas break – I went to the beach. I went to the beach every day during the summer that I could. I guess I could have been called a surfer girl, except for the fact that I didn’t surf. Just hung around with surfers. I was terrified of surfing. When I was in Jr High I went to the beach with my friend Angie. She tried surfing and on her 1st wave fell and knocked her front teeth out. I could just picture it happening to me so I took to just playing in the surf and body surfing.
I loved the song Surfer Girl and used to pretend they were singing about me. I loved the Gidget and Beach Party movies. Heck, in ’64 I won Miss Mission Beach. Tho to be honest it was nothing more than a bathing suit contest. But I got a trophy and recognition. Can't complain.
I miss the beach. Every chance I get I go back to San Diego and spend time at the beach. Preferably South Mission Beach. Ahhhhhh to be there sunning once again. Beach chair, ice tea and a good book. Can't get much better than that.
