California Family Vacation!!

We love vacations!!  Like seriously love vacations!!  We were lucky and got to have a week long relaxing vacation enjoying the California sun this year!!


We headed off to Carlsbad with Grampa and Gramma & Uncle Michael, Aunt Becky, Ellie and Holden.  Grampa and Gramma had rented a house in Carlsbad that was amazing.  It was completely decked out and so perfect for all of us.  It had a gourmet kitchen, huge bedrooms, an amazing game room with tv's galore and the most perfect backyard with a spa, 2 pools with a slide and even a play set for the kids.  Once we walked in the doors we fell in love with the house!!

The girls could not wait to go to the beach.  So we headed down to the beach on Sunday night.  It was cold and windy and we did not stay long, but I think they really enjoyed it!!

Camdyn LOVED the beach

Cold!!!!

We spent the week not doing a whole lot.  We would wake up in the mornings and have family breakfast.  Then Matt, Michael, Becky and I would head out for a bike ride.  The bike rides were great but very hilly!!  It was so cool to ride and see the ocean and enjoy the beautiful breeze!!  The last day we were there we did a 22 mile ride.  For Matt that is no big deal but that was the farthest I have ever ridden and I definitely felt accomplished after that!!  Then we would come home for some pool time.  While the girls rested we worked on our tans and then would have more pool time and family fun in the evenings. 


Tuesday night we drove over to Mission Beach.  We cannot go to San Diego and not go to Mission Beach and have some pizza and enjoy the sunset!!  We had a great time and the girls loved riding some rides!!

Wednesday we spent the day at Sea World.  It really was the perfect day!! Not too crowded, not too hot.  We got to see all of the shows and ride all of the rides.  I think the girls favorite part was the Dolphins for sure!!

Journey to Atlantis

We headed to Oceanside on our last night there and we had an absolute blast playing in the ocean and jumping the waves!!





It was so nice to go on a vacation and actually relax.  Our vacations are usually so go go go that we come home being tired and needing another vacation.  But this time we actually got to rest and just enjoy our family!!  We are so thankful that we got to spend the time with our family that we don't get to see that often.  Time to plan next years vacation :)
