While the kids were out of school for a week in April for Spring Break, I decided we should get to San Diego and visit the family. It has been a while since we had been there and I am so glad we went and enjoyed good friends, family time and as always...great weather.
First things first, a stop down at Kelloggs Beach, our favorite Point Loma hang out. All smiles when we are here looking for shells and enjoying the boats and wildlife.
A visit to the San Diego zoo with our friends Maggi and Vanessa and their kids was so much fun!
We were so lucky that my dad had come to California during this same time and made it into San Diego for a great hike at Torrey Pines Reserve. What a beautiful spot! I could hang out here anytime!
Maddie and Ethan loved hiking all the way down to the beach and climbing up on the rock formations.
However, hiking back up....not so much fun for the kids...Poppi had to offer one of his famous shoulder rides to Ethan.
Ethan turned 5 while we were in San Diego so we had a family dinner to celebrate. It was so nice to have my whole SD fam there!
As a special outing for Ethans Bday, I took the kids to a new place called Inflatable World in San Diego. Man oh man...this was super fun for them. I had to drag them out of there kickin' and screamin' when it was time to leave!
We can't wait to come back to SD in July!!!
Upon our return from San Diego, it was time to celebrate Ethans birthday with his friends. Party time at our house!
Evidence of a successful birthday party below....
April was super fun and to top it off we got a visit from Poppi back at our house. He stayed for 5 nights and we did so many fun things!
Just my dad and I took a drive out to Tomales and ate fresh oysters by the water at Hog Island Oyster Farms followed by an great lunch in Point Reyes! We brought a huge bag of oysters home and cooked them on the BBQ - that was a first...and they turned out SO GOOD! Ofcourse, lots of eating, drinking and laughing when my dad is around.
We planted a vegetable garden in our backyard...I am so excited about all the yummy heirloom tomatoes and herbs I will have this Summer for cooking!
Ethan was totally into this project and was so excited to dig in the dirt! Love it!
