Nick had no big tests or projects this weekend so we decided for an impromptu vacation to California. We had the best time playing at the beach, visiting family, and enjoying our kids. We got to Laguna late Friday night and then spent all day Saturday playing. We went to a seal rescue in the morning and the girls loved seeing all the sea lions/seals playing in the water. The best part... it was free! Then we went to a farmers market on the beach and tried all the delicious fruits and veggies. Our favorite was a Reed avocado that was the size of Alice's head. It was the most creamy deliciousness I have every tasted. The girls loved the fresh strawberries. Next we went to the beach and spend hours playing in the sand and checking out the tide pools. Scarlett loved looking for hermit crabs and got really good at spotting them (even better than me!). She would say "Mom, look at my finger, right there. It's a baby crab!" For dinner we went to CPK in our our swimsuits and we had the whole outside area of the restaurant to ourselves. Out kids could be as loud and unruly as they wanted. Nick surprised us all and got a big brownie and ice cream for desert. When Scarlett saw it her face lit up and she screamed "oh my goodness, oh my goodness! Is this for me?" The waiter had a good laugh. It was the most memorable event of the trip! I am so glad we could get away with our little family and enjoy being together.
It took Alice time to warm up to the sand. She sat on that little chair for a long time. She would not even put her feet on the blanket because it had sand on it. Funny girl!
My favorite part of the beach is walking up and down the coast putting my babies to sleep. Alice took a nice long nap on my shoulder as I looked out at the ocean.
