CALI TRIP: BEACH, BEACH, BEACH

The remainder of our beach trip went without a hitch, which was definitely welcomed after the mishap with my mom. We were able to spend three more days filled with adventures, friends, and treats. We enjoyed some old traditions and tried some new things. We swam and played and lounged. After six years of annual beach trips, we've really found our pace. And now that the kids are starting to get older, our trips are running much more smoothly than before. Well. Besides the whole thing with my mom...
