Our day started quite early with a 6AM flight to California...thank goodness for Jet Blue with Nick Jr. The girls entertained themselves with 2 epidsodes of Dora and then we landed. I'm pretty sure we are one of the few families without iPhones or iPads and my iPod nano circa 2004 with it's 1 centimenter screen isn't going to keep any child's attention.
After a safe landing, picking up our rental car, we were off to the beach!
Tyler & Jenni and their family and Lisa & Clark and their family were all staying in beach front condos down there, so we pretty much invited ourselves to mooch off of all their toys, gear, and relaxing chairs and enjoyed some fun hours in Oceanside.
Addy's first boogie boarding lesson which only lasted through one try through the waves, then she was too cold to do it again. Can't blame her, that water was chilly!
Annie & Addy enjoyed playing in the waves together
Cute cousins
London loved running away from the waves...until they out-powered her little legs and took her down
Tyler came prepared with some serious hole-digging tools which made for one huge pile of sand
When Addy wasn't playing in the sand, she was scouring the shores for seashells with Jenni
When London wasn't playing in the sand, she was chasing the birds
After a fun morning/afternoon, we decided to hit the road and check into our hotel before hitting rush hour traffic.

London would just sit on a chair by the window every night and watch the lights on all the rides. Also made for a great view for World of Color...no crowds (Barney's daughter).
Just in case the 4am wake-up call and playing all day at the beach hadn't worn the girls out, we decided to give the hotel pool a whirl.
Addy was in heaven with this waterslide. She just kept going and going and going until we told her we were leaving.
We had some good pizza at BJs, then back to bed for 2 fun-filled days at Disneyland!
