A Nice Long Weekend With Family at the Coast

So this week (8/4) mom and dad once again ran around like whirlwinds packing and preparing for our weekend at the coast. We can't wait. Thursday night dad rushed through the door, threw everything in the car and we all drove to Sea Ranch on a long windy road, but we slept most of the way so we didn't really notice. We started out our vacation by sleeping in on Friday morning and making fun of dad for sleeping through any number of disturbances, including photos. Then we got up and dressed up in our cooler weather clothes, we love our hoodies.

Friday afternoon the rest of the family arrived and we couldn't have been more happy. There were more arms to hold us all weekend than we could hope for. All we had to do was fuss just a little and we were doted upon. Of course mom and dad took this opportunity to ditch us and go for a walk along the coast.

The rest of the weekend was spent napping, eating and making merry while relaxing and enjoying time with everyone. A few of the many highlights included mom and dad doing a puzzle & going for an awesome bike ride, Popa and Eric going golfing, mom and Auntie Chrissy making wonderful dinners for everyone including a 25th anniversary dinner for Nana & Popa, and everyone having a blast during many great games of cards.

And way too soon it was Monday and time to pack up and head home. But we all had a blast and can't wait to do it again.
