We left the heat of sunny Arizona and started the 6-ish hour drive to Carlsbad, CA. We had an uneventful-for-us drive, but we saw desert fires everywhere on the way. Seriously, like 6 of them. It was crazy.
Anyway, we arrived at the hotel and as soon as we opened the van doors we were ready to move to California.The weather was beautiful. So, we got checked in, changed into our swimming suits and headed to the beach, which was about a mile away.. The kids had so much fun at the beach. It was one of their favorite parts of the trip.(They've even said we could go back to California just to go to the beach...no amusement park necessary.)
While the kids were building their sand castle, the adults were visiting. All of a sudden there was a thud over near Nathan. We both thought someone had thrown something at us. Turns out it wasn't a someone but a something. A seagull flying over used Nathan for target practice and pooped on him. It was really quite hysterical.
Day One was a complete success.
Looks like fun. If the kids like beaches, there are plenty here in Hawaii! Also I think Hawaii has spoiled me beach-wise. That beach just looks cold to me.
ReplyDeleteThe beach is just the perfect vacation, isn't it?! Looks like all the kids took right to it- water, sand and all! Good for them :)
