Pacific Beach!

We went, we played, we had a blast!! We were so excited to get to go to the beach this year. Clay didn't get to come with us, he was hard at work while we were hard at play.
We got to go to California with Uncle Colin, Aunt Amy, and baby Harrison. A great time was had by all!
The girls had so much fun playing in the sand and the surf. We of course gathered shells, built sandcastles, swam, and buried Uncle Colin. The water was cold, once your body went numb it was pretty fun. It was overcast the whole time but we all came back pretty pink regardless.
Sydney and Alex even took turns burying each other. The sand was so clean and so soft. There was lots of seaweed from high tide but no rocks or anything else in the sand. It was so nice on the feet!
The girls were on the beach all day long and never once complained about getting bored. When it was time to go in they still weren't ready to leave. They want to go back so bad, we'll have to see about that.
Amy showed them how to make drip castles, and Uncle Colin helped them dig some tunnels in the sand. They got lots of water to make the sand wet for their sand castles.
Amy was in charge of finding a place to stay. She did an awesome job. This is our hotel, right off the beach!! No packing up and driving around to have fun. We just woke up, got in our swimsuits and walked right out to the beach! Talk about amazing! Saved time and we were able to play so much longer being so close to the beach! The view from our balcony was the best. We watched surfers in the early morning and fire dancers at night, all from the comfort of our suite!
This trip is one the girls will not soon forget. I have to say, I love my new camera. I was a little bit worried about taking it because I still wasn't familiar with it. I think it did a great job. It had a beach setting (the coolest thing ever). It was great. I spared you all the boring vacation photos. Narrowing it down to 10 was tough enough!
Baby Harrison was the star of the trip I think. What an amazing baby to travel with. He went from Phoenix to San Diego without hardly making a peep! He was so happy the whole time. I would definitely travel again with him (and mommy and daddy) anytime!
One more adventure has been crossed off our summer adventure list. Let's see what comes next!
