Beach time begins!

To avoid a plane ride with a punky 2 year old, we opted for a southern California beach vacation in the car. Here we are all packed up and ready to head out Friday afternoon. We drove to Grandpa's house so that we could get an early start on vacation on Saturday.

 After Grandpa made us a yummy dinner of steak, lamb, corn and pasta, we played in the living room, had ice cream AND popcorn.

 The next day we got back in the car and headed to Pacific Beach. We found our condo and took a first walk on the beach before searching out some food. We went to a brewery (what a shock!) and had a yummy dinner and some drinks to begin our vacation.

 Fi conked out next to Lily in her new digs.

 Here we are during our sunset beach walk.

 Lily got to enjoy some shave ice on the beach.

 Nap time after a morning playing on the beach!

 Fiona loves her dress from Uncle Stephen and Aunt Natalie.

 A little cuddle time in the chair before bed.

 The girls spread out on the beach.

 Lily has no problem getting down and dirty in the sand!

 Fiona loves her floatie.

 Lounging.

 Wiped out after some time playing in the water!

 My beach babies.

 Daddy spent a lot of time in water. Here he is after a session of boogie boarding.

 Fiona enjoyed filling her watering can in the ocean.

We went to dinner at a restaurant next to a fire station called the fire house. We sat on the deck in the sun so Daddy put his hat on Fiona to protect her neck from the sun.

 My Lily:)

 We walked onto the pier for the sunset after dinner.

We loved our time at the beach!
