We took the kids to the beach before school started and spent 3 days and 2 nights at our fave place to relax and unwind --- Cambria. We love the laid back, relaxed, peaceful and quiet atmosphere of Cambria. Not to mention the not so crowded beach. We invited another family to join us and we all had a blast!!! Our first night we didn't really do anything. We stayed at the house and tried to get settled, planned our activities for the next 2 days and our menus, watched a movie and just enjoyed the house, the view and the cool weather. The next day we took our time to get ready and left after brunch to head for Moonstone Beach. The kids had a lot of fun at the beach and we all enjoyed watching them run and play in the water. Then off we went to Main street for a late lunch and some shopping. We invaded the shops, antique stores, wine tasting rooms and all other tourist traps on Main Street from Windsor Blvd to Cambria Dr!!! Then off we went to Harmony to show our friends the cute little town and we were hoping we could show them Harmony's chapel as well (where we originally planned to get married) but the chapel was closed! The sun was still up and we were all still pumped up for more places to see. So we drove to Morro Bay to show our friends' daughter the Morro Rock and the area. And our dear Marjorie got her chance to invade The Shell Shop to get some seashells (there were no seashells to pick at Moonstone Beach and she loves seashells). Just before it got dark, we were heading back to Cambria for dinner at the house. Our third day (and last day), we decided to head back to the other side of Main Street (by Burton Dr) to hit more shops and antique stores. The kids, on the other hand, were yelling for the beach! They want to go back to the beach and play in the water but we all agreed to walk Main Street again! They got what they wished for though when we decided to ride the free trolley just for the heck of it... we were able to take the kids back to Moonstone Beach since it's one of the stops and they got to play for about 20 minutes before the trolley had to leave! Back to where we left off and took the trolley at Burton Dr, we hit more shops then off we went to drive back to Moonstone Beach Drive to eat dinner... we first stopped by the Sea Chest Restaurant & Oyster Bar but the line was sooooo long and they don't even open until another half hour! So we drove to see how Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill looks like... luckily they don't have a long wait!!! We were all starving!!! After dinner we took a short walk (we were all stuffed!) and we drove back home. When we got back to B-town, it was warm!!! But we are glad to be home... now it's time to switch to school mode! School starts the next day!!! Waaahhh!!! Marjorie had been bugging me to have her friends over for a sleepover at our house all summer!!! So I finally gave in last weekend and allowed her to invite a few friends over. I actually had a lot of fun with the girls. And did not expect I would really enjoy it with them. Four (4) of her friends came to stay the night last Saturday. The girls had tons of fun and didn’t want to go home!!! LOL!!! I was busy and almost forgot to take photos… thank goodness I was able to take some before it was all over!!! It was almost hard to remember to take their pics because we were all over the place!!! Sometimes they were in the bedroom, sometimes in the playroom and sometimes in the backyard. I picked up the girls around 4pm in the afternoon Saturday and the first thing I heard was a lot of screaming when they went to see Marjorie in her bedroom. Then off they went to play… first in the bedroom, then in the playroom then in the backyard. The girls brought their swimsuits and played in the sprinklers in the backyard… they had a ball!!! After dinner they we played with the Barbie dolls and dressed them up… got ready for bed then we watched a movie right before bedtime… a couple of them fell asleep before the movie was over… and the last ones to sleep were Jessica and Marjorie… the next morning, they all slept in until around 9am… we had breakfast and they all went and played again!!! My little Athan (the only boy in the bunch) had a lot of fun as well with the girls… although he pretty much did what he wants most of the time, with or without the girls.
The girls were all picked up around 1pm on Sunday. And they were all asking already when they can come back for another sleepover!!!
