{Beach Break}

I think we have started a new "rule"/tradition in our house. Spring break will always have to come with a Beach Break at the beginning.

Last week was our Spring Break....10 days with no school committments and no one telling us what time we had to be anywhere. I made sure to not committ to anything for anyone else except for the four of us! It was great!

We started the week with a much needed trip to Coronado California....right on the beach. I found a cheap hotel for us and we drove down on Sunday and came home Monday night realllllly late.

We spent an hour on the beach walking around on sunday night after the sunset. The boys and I were in heaven....the smell of the salt water, the waves crashing, the sand in between our toes. It was great. We picked out where we should go the next day and went to the hotel to bed.

The next morning we were at the beach by 930 and having a great time. It was about 80 degrees out with a wonderful cool breeze. We were able to see two battleships in the water, a naval hospital ship come in and lots of other military planes. That was happiness for C as he doesn't have the fondness for the beach like the other 3 of us do. We left the bach aroung 5 for our trip home and we were all tired and happy!

The tide ended up going out....really far and the tide pools were uncovered so E, K and I went and found hermit crabs, crabs, sponges, seaweed, muscles and all kinds of stuff.


K is our collector so he came home with a few shells of course. He was also the brave one to get into the cold water and boogie board. E really wanted to but the water was very cold!!

I think we'll be back again this summer. 3 of us love the beach and the one who doesn't, well he loves us enough to take us there again and again!
