Sunny and gorgeous at Avila Beach

Love this place, just love it. So do the girls. Here's what we've been up to so far:

The ride here was blissfully uneventful (for more info on the lapdesks, see our product review):


We had dinner at one of our all-time fave restaurants, McLintock's. The grownups love the onion rings and the steak, the kiddos love the special way they refill your water glass:



After dinner, we drove down to the beach for a little nighttime fun. Ro and Ree's conversation in the dark car on the way there was cracking me up:




My mom and I apparently have matching white fleece jackets (news to us!):


The girls thought it was hilarious to bury their feet and then wonder where they were. Over and over.


After breakfast the next day, we loaded up the wagon and headed to the beach. I love Ree's little skip on the way:


Man these kids like sand:


And water. They really like water...:



And kites too:


Shoot, they pretty much like everything about the beach. Every dang thing.
