::California - 2011::

Well ... we made the drive the Cali with 2 kiddos and 4 adults on friday august 10. we left at 5 pm and arrived in vegas at midnight! it was a fun first half drive and the kids were amazing. we only had one argument and it wasn't even a big one!
Saturday we left vegas at 8 am and arrived at our destination in oceanside, california at 1:30 pm ... we found our amazing beach house and then we found ... THE BEACH!

we had a great first couple days in cali ... jeremy couldn't come until monday evening so i was a single mom for 4 days and let me tell you it was rough but so much fun! we had a great time!
on our first night we walked the beach back from dinner and hunted for some awesome sea shells!
here's the kids and i at Oceanside Harbor.
on our first real day/morning the kids and i woke up and went down to the beach for some exploring in our pjs. B caught a huge fish and was a happy camper the rest of the day!
diva was just happy to be out of the car!
our first beach day the crew below did some major boogie boarding while diva and i took a short (ok super long) nap!
The first night we went out to our very own camp fire and had some delicious s'mores ... dad was very tired!
the cookie s'mores were AMAZING!

before we left for california the 12 of us drew names for dinner crews and of course krystina, chelle, and i got stuck on a team together (the three who don't cook at all) the above pic is us getting ready to head to 2 different markets on our bikes to get the dinner stuff for an amazing dinner.
the below pic is what we decided to make for dinner! hahaha just kidding ... we did make salad, pasta, and garlic bread with cookies for dessert. it was amazing. we brought the banquet dinner back as a joke b/c everyone was pretty concerned with what we would be making!
i have taken like 500 pics of cali but lets face it .. no one want to see that many pics all at one time ... next up The Diva's first Disney experience!
