Ah....the sweet sound of the waves and the wonderful smell of the ocean! Thank goodness we got to take a little break from this dreadful weather and enjoy the beautiful California coast. The Westmoreland's were gracious enough to invite our family on their yearly trip to San Diego! We stayed in Encinitas and enjoyed cool 65 degree weather and loved every minute of it! Clay grew up going to San Diego and was fortunate enough to live their for a summer ....Surfing mostly:) So he was especially excited and chomping at the bit to get in that water and surf!
There is one hot spot for the family when it comes to breakfast and I'm almost hesitant to share it because it really is San Diego's best kept secret. The Hide Away Cafe seriously has the best breakfast in the world...and its nothing but a small room and kitchen. Diners Drive Ins and Dives baby!! Guy would die if he found out about this place, its that good!
So, here we are about to enjoy Cinnamon rolls the size of your face and the best Huevos Rancheros on the planet.
The boys loved the beach! Little Dilly's favorite thing to do was pick up rocks.....go figure!
His other favorite thing to do was sleep. Here he is
day 1........
Day 2.......
Day 3........and on and on he slept.
Grandpa and Dallas taking a stroll along the beach.
Its no surprise that taking two toddlers to the beach is no easy thing when you have to take umbrellas, formula, snacks, enough juice to fill a bathtub, blankets, toys and coolers! So a BIG thanks to Grandma & Grandpa for all the help!
Daddy and his Dilly Bar
Mommy and her Dilly Bar
I'm not going to lie...the water was actually pretty darn cold but okay for sticking toes in!
This was supposed to be a car, but they made it whatever they wanted it to be!
The sun came out after a few days and the boys started to really get into it. Its amazing to me that there's a whole ocean about 20 feet in front of them and they're amazed by a bucket of water with a rock in it.
Dallas had a permanent sand stash. Gotta love it.
We started digging motes and Dallas had a ball just walking in circles in it.
I thought this might scare Dallas, but I think he liked it. He's so little it didn't take long to dig the hole, but I'm still finding sand in the craziest places....you can imagine!
When Dillon was awake he loved walking around picking up little rocks. It was the cutest thing.
Oh Dilly! I found the sand between the kids toes so irresistible I almost ate them right off!!
Even though the water was chilly, that didn't stop Clay and I from catch'n a few waves.
Clay's long time friend, Dan Gutman lives in San Diego and came out one afternoon to surf. It was so fun to sit on the beach and watch the two of them because they are both so passionate about surfing and love it love it love it.
Those were some gnarly waves bra!
Oh how we'll miss you San Diego, but hopefully we'll be back again next year!!

I think I had more fun playing in the sand than the kids did!
