Life's A Beach...Part 1

















Well here is Day 1 of our Southern California Trip....all the pictures are in the wrong order and upside down (from end to beginning), but I was too lazy to reload everything again! So, here you have it!
Well, only Part of "IT". Kyle informed me I had taken over 478 pictures on this trip *blush*.
I am certainly not downloading all of them HERE! LOL!
We left on Friday the 10th of June and drove to Primm, Nevada. We stayed at Buffalo Bills that night (EWWW!). The hotel was pretty nasty, but we survived. Snoopp Dog was in concert, we passed. The huge rollar coaster tempted Kyle and Grace, they rode. (remember Josh was ALREADY in Cali. at this point). The heat was HOT, we melted.
Saturday AM, we awoke with high hopes and the rest of our drive to Oceanside. Smooth sailing and not much fighting. As the hours passed, the palm trees grew more prolific and the temp's kept dropping ...108, 97, 85, 75--the ocean was in sight.
I was pretty sure I had died and gone to heaven. We checked into our humble abode for the week. The condo was clean, and small, but boy oh boy, was it worth the view!! Out the doors, and over the balcany, we woke up and went to sleep to what you see above for 7 days!
We ate some good food, In and Out. Walked the Pier, sifted sand between our toes and enjoyed a sunset on the beach. We fell asleep to the sound of the waves crashing and so it began!
More to follow, stay tuned!

So fun to see you there in all of our half-dressed glory!! Your family is too cute. I wish Josh and Maddie could've talked.

the next days got better! it was great to see you guys! you ALL look so fabulous! your family is gorgeous!
