The second week in June we packed up and headed to the beach to escape the Bakersfield heat! The kids were so excited they had been begging to go to the beach for months!! So early Monday morning we packed the car loaded the kids and set off. The kids watched movies and Jackson slept the whole way over!
We always take Old Creek Road over to Cayucos and we all try to be the first to spot the ocean as we come up over the hill!
As soon as we arrived we headed to the pier!
After the pier we checked into our hotel changed and headed to the beach!
We like to take the kids over on the far side of the rock where it's less busy and the water is calm.
As soon as Lilly got wet and sandy she wanted to leave, and spent the rest of the day tucked up on her daddy's shoulders wearing his sweatshirt.
Matthew enjoyed the tide pools and hunting for crabs and other creatures.
After spending some time down by the water we went back up to our hotel cleaned up and headed to dinner. We went to one of our favorite haunts, The Sea Shanty! Lilly slept through dinner so we grabbed some chicken nuggets for her later. After we ate we took our dessert down to the beach to watch the sun set, then we went for a night time stroll along the beach!
The next Morning we checked out of our hotel and went to our traditional breakfast at Kitty's Kitchen, and then walked along the Embarcadero and visited all of our favorite shops!
Later we headed into San Luis. We took the kids to see Gum Ally, and we left our mark! We also visited some fun shops.
Finally we ended up in Pismo where we met up with my Mom and Merrie!
We spent some more time down by the water. I just realized the complete lack of pictures of Jackson. He spent the majority of the trip strapped to me in the baby carrier, covered in a hat and blanket to protect from the sun and wind.
We had a great time together as a family and the kids are already planning a trip back!
