We did a little weekend getaway to the nicest parts of SoCal!
First stop: Newport Beach, where Taylor finally took Derek surfing. The wives and kids were way too far away to actually see much of it.
Notice that Janie is wearing her cowgirl boots. On the beach. Not kidding, she wears them everywhere.
And this is way zoomed in, the best shot we have of Derek on the surfboard (and he was going out, not coming in). Turns out when there are dozens of people in black wetsuits about a quarter of a mile away, you can’t necessarily pick your husband out of the lineup.
The highlight for the kids was helping Calvin catch about 25 crabs.
The kids loved eating out–six meals in a row!!!
The rest of Saturday, we hung out in the hotel, had dinner (CPK, of course!) with Natalie and Chris, and the boys went to an Angels game while the girls and I listened to All-of-a-Kind Family in bed. On Sunday we headed down to San Diego to attend the McBrides’ church and then on to the Padres/Dodgers game!
And Janie amazed us with her ability to fall asleep in the midst of 43,100 screaming baseball fans…
Now we’re just trying to catch up on laundry and unpack…
Looks like a fun-packed weekend with friends! How special!! 🙂
Wow! What a great time with family and friends!! Enjoy what you have there, and create memories to look back on when you no longer live in California!!
Derek needs to frame that one of him and the kids at the game. What a great shot and all smiles!
Now that sounds like a perfect weekend trip!
