Since I am so behind on my blog I am just going to re-cap our RV trip. We left for our trip Tuesday morning. It was a longer drive than we thought. Since it was so long we let the kiddos get out of their seat belts for a while. They loved being up top while daddy drove. Dad did so well driving the entire time. We got to our campsite and then headed to the beach. It was so cold and windy though. The sand there is really fine and was blowing in our faces, so we couldn’t stay at the beach. We actually got worried we would be too cold at night so we ran out to buy more blankets. It was nice having the heat on most of the night while the people in tents froze. Nicole and Justin made friends with the neighbors. 2 kids a little older than N&J but they played so well. They loved having their new friends in our RV. Next time we do a camping trip of some sort we decided the kids needed some friends. The next day we just relaxed and took it easy. We took a walk and looked at the other parks. The kids played on the play structure. After lunch we headed to the beach. It was an awesome beach day. The water was freezing so we didn’t even attempt to go in. I built the kids a ton of sand castles and they had a great time smashing them. They ran to them pretending they were dogs and smash. We also made a cake out of sand castles. We took a little walk on the beach. There was a sand castle contest so we just looked at them, someone made an awesome car out of sand. So we are walking back to our blanket and sand stuff and we see the kids….all of a sudden we are like where did Justin go. He found a huge hole and went in it. He was popping his head up and down. We were laughing so hard. It was so cute. The kids loved this hole and played in it for a long time. We took the RV out and went to the main street. It was a pretty cool town. We told the kiddos they could buy something. Justin chose blues clues and Nicole finally chose magenta (blues clues friend). Nicole had such a hard time making up her mind of what to buy. She wanted to think about her decision while we had dinner. We had a great dinner right next to the beach. But a pigeon did fly in my hair while waiting for our food, it was so gross. After we just walked the main street and we ran into a little farmer’s market. There was a bounce house so the kids bounced. They had so much sand in their pockets that sand was all over the bounce house. I only mention this because the guy at the bounce house was so anal and vacuuming the sand the minute he saw it. We let the kiddos watch part of the Muppet movie in the RV before bed. The next day consisted of packing up and heading home. We stopped in Santa Barbara to eat and just walk around. Of course we got stuck in LA traffic which sucked. We got home and unpacked and Bret went to return the RV. All in all it was a great trip, just went by too quickly. I tried to unpack and do laundry as soon as I could. So much laundry. I met the board from pre school at dinner that evening. We went to a great place. Dad and the kiddos played. Dad got down the Hot Wheels scooter that our neighbor found when the kids were just so little. Justin was ecstatic and couldn’t wait to ride it. We just need to get Nikki a new scooter now. Dad and I relaxed after I got home and we were glad to be in our own bed.
