Transcript
My name‚s Robin Bank and I want to tell about growing up in California, spending many years at the beach. I think it‚s a unique experience in California, being so near the beach, especially Southern California where it‚s so swimmable and you can go to the beach pretty much any time year round. I want to tell about how we grew up at El Morro Beach. It‚s not too far north of Laguna Beach and when I was about 6, my family bought a trailer there. It was a little vacation home for us and we spent pretty much every weekend and most of the summer there from then on. Growing up there and spending out summers at the beach was unique because you would basically just do that all day long, you would be at the beach. You‚d wake up in the morning, you‚d have breakfast and you‚d go to the beach. You‚d come up or maybe you‚d bring your lunch to the beach or come up to the trailer for lunch and then you‚d go back to the beach. We would spend hours in the water playing in the sun.
