Cali Trip

Ok, I'm like a month behind. Last month we decided it was time to get away and to take Marissa to the beach. She's never been to the beach. We didn't end up taking Owen this time, 6 hours in the car ride with that kid would of felt like 12 hours. We ended up going with our best friends Bryan and Jen and their guy Colby (Marissa's best friend). We left Saturday morning and drove to Laguna Beach to stay with my older sister. Thank you Melissa for letting us stay with you! You place is so cute! We stayed in Laguna til Monday evening and then headed down to Oceanside and ended up staying at Jen's cousin's house. While we were there we got Marissa hooked on the slot machine. Jen's cousin had one in there playroom.
Brock and I ended up celebrating our 4 year anniversary. I can't believe we've been married for 4 years (is seems like 20, just kidding Brock). I am so lucky to have an amazing guy like Brock. We spent a lot of time at the beach, soaking up the sun. We ended our trip going to a Padres/D-back game. It was so fun to drive into San Diego and see the bridge that takes you to Coronado Island, where Brock will be going for his Navy SWCC training. It was such an amazing trip!




6 hours is such a long time. Time for a little nap.



We made it! Taking a walk down to the beach in Laguna Beach



Marissa's first walk on the beach. She didn't care for the sand at first.
