Pismo Beach


Ok, I promise this is our final trip for a while!
With only one week before school started up, we had the opportunity to join Jason's parents at Pismo Beach, where they were having a little R&R! They were at a resort, while we were just next door at a beautiful RV campground.

We loved the beach, the atmosphere, the scenery, the shops, the life of leisure, the campfires w/ s'mores, bike riding, swimming, etc. We thought it was amazing and can't wait to camp there again!



While there we celebrated my 29th birthday! (yes, again! -how long can I keep trying that?) My special day started with a bike ride to a restaurant called Penny's All-American Cafe for a delicious breakfast! Yum! We spent the morning riding around town and checking out shops. We lazed on the beach in the afternoon and at 4pm my in-laws surprised me with an hour massage at their hotel spa! Wow! Happy Birthday to me! Jason made us all dinner with BBQ steaks and a cake made in our motorhome convection oven. We weren't sure if that would turn out or not, but it did! Yum!



Beach Fun!




Right in our campsite there was this mommy duck with her babies. They just hung out there, undeterred by all the people. So cute!


One of the afternoons there we decided to rent a surrey, equipped with electric motor, yet not a very powerful one. This was just hysterical! We had that thing packed to overflow capacity. It made for some scary sharp turns but I tell you... we laughed the entire time!



One evening Nana & Papa treated us to dinner by bringing pizza to our campsite. Do you SEE the size of that thing??!! I have never seen such a gigantic pizza! It was a big hit with the kids!


And call me disturbed, but I couldn't help myself when my husband pointed out our lovely daughter's "exposure" while playing in the dirt. We laughed and laughed and she had no clue! She'll surely hate me for this one day, but don't all girls go through that drama with their mom at some point? At least my daughter will have valid reasoning!

Looks like fun! I love the Alli shot! Unfortunately there are girls now a days who dress like that on purpose.

I love all the vacations your family takes. Great memories for the kids.

Butt cracks are cute on Alli, but nobody laughs at my crack!!! And I don't blame them...Papa didn't eat the entire pizza. We had a great time. Nana & Papa
