THURSDAY & FRIDAY (Spring Break)

Teresa and Nathan spent the afternoon/evening with Grandma and Grandpa while Jonathan and I did a little shopping and went out to dinner. It was very nice! Teresa stayed the night that night. Friday we met up to play Miniature Golf. The weather wasn't awesome, but we didn't get any rain while we were playing.

We showed Nathan how to do it, but he had his own way.

After a few holes Nathan was more interested in the cool stuff than actually getting his ball in the hole.

It was a lot of fun though :) After we went to my folks for lunch. A really nice afternoon.

That evening we grilled hamburgers, in the rain. YUM!

WEDNESDAY(spring Break)

I have no pictures for today. We just spent the day relaxing. We watched the rain, then a quick trip to the grocery store, followed by homemade chili, Raspberry Chocolate Crumb Bars and Ice cream and a movie, "Despereaux". It was a good day. Nathan got his usual nap and Teresa got to play with a friend

TUESDAY(Spring Break)

Tuesday was filled with a lot of little fun things. Jonathan has the whole week off, so we're vacationing at home the rest of the week ( I highly recommend it)






We flew kites. Mostly Teresa flew her kite, Nathan's didn't want to get up there. It didn't help that the wind died down.



We had some AWESOME pizza from a new pizzeria.


The biggest part of the day was when Teresa got her braces. It's just the top four teeth for now.
I think she looks very cute. She was very excited to get them.



After that we went on a 5 mile bike ride. We rode to Ty and Michelle's house and then back. It was a big deal, considering it was only our 3rd bike ride.




After that we opened a coconut, I know, sounds weird. But we had some from the luau and Teresa wanted to crack it open.

MONDAY(Spring Break)

Monday we had a nice breakfast and then packed up and checked out of the hotel.

The kids shared a bed

We were heading back to Morro Rock, but on the other side. We saw a huge Sea Otter, but I didn't get a picture.

After we wandered and played there we drove back to Embarcadero to see the little aquarium they have there. It's very small ($2 to get in) but they had tons of different kinds of fish, plus 2 harbor seals. Well worth the $2!

Teresa and I did a little shopping before we left Morro Bay. Then we headed to Pismo. The idea was to hit the beach and look for sand dollars and then have some clam chowder at Splash.

We found some caves to explore, but the tide was coming in, so we couldn't stay long. Between Jonathan and Teresa they found 3 whole sand dollars.

It was nice, the weather was beautiful. For some reason Nathan was almost afraid of the water at Pismo. I think it might have been because it was so loud, with the cliffs behind us it seemed to be louder.

The Splash thing didn't work out. We were way too hungry to wait in the line that went around the block. So we found a little pizza place, nothing spectacular (almost yucky) but the place was cool and we still enjoyed ourselves.

They were being so cute while Teresa and I ordered

After lunch we stopped and got frozen yogurt and walked on the pier. We were freezing so that was short lived. We were ready to go home. It was a perfect little vacation, and both kids slept on the way home :)

SUNDAY(Spring Break)

(the pictures are going to be small, I just have too many :) You can click on them to view them larger)

Sunday we packed our bags and headed to Morro Bay.

On our way we stopped at a quaint little town to have lunch at a little park.

Once in Morro Bay we headed to a place we had been before, hoping for tide pools, but there wasn't much to see. So we decided to hike up and around the cliffs there in Montono de Oro (Camp KEEP). It was a nice view and lots of wild flowers.

We drove along the coast back to Morro Bay and checked in to our Hotel (Blue Sail Inn). This is a view from our window, it was very nice.

There was still lots of daylight left so we drove out to Morro Rock and saw sand, lots of sand to play in. So we took our shoes off and walked the beach a little. The water was freezing!


The kids played. Nathan and his Spider-man bucket.

Teresa is building a tiny sandcastle . She also found lots of Sea Anemonies.

Back to the hotel to clean up! Nathan ended up practically naked on the way back, he was way too dirty to get in the truck. Our hotel was just a block up from Embacadero so we walked to a grill for some dinner, then down a few stores to see the Lynx, the sails weren't up, but it was still impressive. Then we stopped for frozen yogurt on the way back to the hotel. It was a perfect day!

SATURDAY (Spring Break)

We had lots of fun doing the family shower for Ty and Michelle to welcome Luke.

It was a luau

School Carinval

We had Teresa's school carnival on Friday. I can't say a whole lot about it, I was running around making sure things were taken care of most of the time. But the kids had a good time. I started having fun about 45 minutes into it. We had a rocky start, but for the most part a huge success.
