Summer Kick-Off

We have a lot of fun things planned this summer, it all started with our staying down at Carlsbad beach for four days this past week. My mom had some time off for summer and it was her idea to get family together for a vacation. We always stay at the Carlsbad Inn, we crammed quite a few people into a one bedroom condo, but it worked out pretty well. On one of the more crowded nights, we had two rooms. The first night was kinda a train wreck, with the two kids sleeping in one room. My poor mom was in the room with me, because Jordan was working that night. We got NO sleep, between the two of them waking each other up it was just one big mess! The next night was much better, Jordan was there, and they were used to the new sleeping arrangements by then, thankfully! We spent a lot of time at the beach, and just hung around the premises. They have beautiful lounge areas, a pool, jacuzzi, and an activity center where we checked out bikes one morning. On the last day we went back to the San Diego County Fair, since Jordan didn't get to go the first time. It was a lot more crowded this day than before, but it was still lots of fun. Jordan got to see Clara ride the rides, she rode less this time so no throwing up! It was such a fun and relaxing mini vacation, a great time spent with family after Jordan's crazy busy last week. It was also wonderful to get out of the house for a while, let's just say that I feel like I'm cooped up here a lot sometimes. I am getting braver about going places, but it can be few and far between.
Another nice thing about hanging out with family, is lots of baby sitters! It was so relaxing because Jordan and I got to get out one night for coffee and dessert after the kids went to bed, we got to relax in the jacuzzi and on the beach while grandparents and uncles entertained the kids, it was lovely!
