Brad and I decided to take the kids on a last minute trip to
California this summer to visit our friends Randy and Diane who just had a
baby!
We found a great deal on airfare and couldn’t pass up the opportunity
to see friends and play at the beach!
We flew down Friday night and both kids did great again on
the plane. This was a much shorter flight than the first one of the summer. We
stayed the night with Randy and Diane that evening. The next morning, we spent
some time meeting baby Adam who is just 3 months old. He is a cutie and such a
good baby!! Later that day we drove up to Long Beach where we stayed at Diane’s
fathers beach house. That afternoon, we went and played on the beach. It wasn’t
like the beach they saw in the Atlantic, but still fun!
Sunday, we went for a walk on the beach that morning and
then had an early lunch and headed to the Aquarium. It was very cool and we got
to see a lot of fish and all kinds of creatures from the sea. Sage even got to
touch a stingray!
That evening we walked over to the Bay to dip our feet in
and check it out.
Monday, we went straight to the Bay and played all day. Sage
had soooo much fun there, as did Evan. Sage calls it the “beach with no waves”
and often asks if she can go back. It was so nice and she was able to walk in
and “swim” in the water. She also did a little boogie board or her “skateboard”
on the water. Evan still didn’t want to go into the water, but we were able to
dig a hole and pour water in that for him to jump and play in. It was the
perfect way to wrap up our quick California vacation.
It was great to see our friends and meet their new little
baby- and most of all, see them as parents! It’s crazy to remember what it was
like with just one kiddo, that small!
Hopefully next time we go to CA, it’s for Disneyland!!
