We just got back from Southern California, after five days of sun and relaxation. We spent the first two days with Paul and Nichole at there beach house in Capistrano and as always had a great time hanging out with them. We made smores over our campfire on the beach, did early morning yoga and meditated to the sound of the waves crashing, took a long beach cruise, and of course were thoroughly entertained by Froggie the entire time!The last three nights we stayed with Jeff, Becky and Luke. Jeff took us surfing on Friday. Mark and I braved the rocks of Doheny and had a great time getting worked by the surf. While I was sitting out on my board in the water, I realized what a meditative experience surfing can be. I am thankful that my Mom was a surfer girl of the 60's, and that she taught me to surf.
Saturday we rented sea kayaks and paddled through the Dana Point Harbor (we even ran onto Steve Clifford and two of his grand kids). Later that day we hit the shops in Laguna (a must for Madi). It was a beautiful cool summer night, and perfect for watching the sun set over the ocean. It's always nice to see Jeff and Becky and Luke. Luke is such a sweet boy, and the kids love getting to spend time with him.
On the way home, Monday, we stopped in Las Vegas to stay the night. Madi and Max were dying to ride the roller coaster at New York New York. When we got there, we found out Max wasn't tall enough to ride, so Mark waited with the kids and I went with Madi. I still LOVE roller coasters(although I felt I needed a neck brace after)!
In all, we had an amazing time. I hope you are all enjoying your summer too.
Blessings and Love,
Jessamy
