We were able to get away last weekend and head to Pismo Beach for three days. We try to go a couple of times a year and seem to go this weekend (the last 3 years). If only it was an hour closer!
Here's a picture of the crazy children .
Here's the view from our room ... beautiful!
The waves were really big this trip and the tide was way in and then way out. It was unusual. I went walking with my dad two of the mornings and barely made it down the beach to his hotel because the tide was in so far! Here is a picture of one of the boogie boarders. As the waves crashed into the pier the entire pier would shake. It was amazing!

After that we played a few games with my parents at their hotel and then went to the Great American Melodrama and Vaudeville. Every time we go we're reminded of how much we love it! The kids really enjoyed it too. Parker said it should of had a "rating" but Travis and I thought it was mostly PG. We're glad our kids are a little sheltered!
Family on the pier.
The pelican. It was huge and it's beak area was so colorful and beautiful!
Our crazy children in the freezing water!!!
Conner and Parker exploring on Sunday. We were able to go to church in San Luis Obispo and have some lunch, walk on the beach (the tide was way out) and spend some fun time together as a family. We had carmel apples for dinner that night. (Yummy and somewhat nutritious)
Calissa happy getting dirty!
Happy in the pool!
Belly flop! Calissa is definitely the best at belly flops. She is the bravest of the three. The kids had the pool to themselves almost the entire trip. The pool temp is in the high 80's so even though it was cold outside, they were nice and warm in the pool! Travis and I enjoyed the hot tub!
Conner's belly flop.
Parker's belly flop. He's not so brave (or dumb) ... he knows it's going to hurt! The kids wanted to swim one last time on Monday morning before we came home and it was freezing cold and raining outside, but we said "OK" because we're such wonderful parents! As we sat huddled up watching the kids and freezing we overheard Calissa say to the boys, "Let's play Martin Luther King ... you know Martin ... Luther." Travis and I laughed and laughed, the boys just ignored her. I guess we should tell her it's called Marco Polo?

When I was little I used to go to Pismo Beach with my family...although we camped and did the sand dunes. Looks like you had lots of fun.
