Since this weekend is the unofficial kickoff to summer, I had to go with a beach theme for Throwback Thursday!

Ahhh, the beach. We can relax, get tan, enjoy the cool water. I'm sure you can think of other things to enjoy too. So let's get to it.

In 1989, Pam Anderson said "see ya!" to Home Improvement and headed to the Baywatch beach with David Hasselhoff. There slow motion running, the surf, the bathing suits. Oh, and there were rescues. Good times. Good times.

Before that, there was Gidget, starring Sally field. She was the "anti-Pam Anderson" but at least it took place at the beach. She and her "moon-doogie" surfed until they dropped and boy did naive Gidget learn about life!

Enjoy the trip back in time.
