Dana Point, CA...Day FOUR

Day four came too fast and it was time to come home.
 Highlight collage from all the pictures my mom took!
 We woke up, cleaned, then hit the road. Before heading home we took a stroll down memory lane with my parents! This was the house I lived in the first two years of my life! :)
 Then we headed to Alta Loma High School where my parents met! They were high school sweethearts! :)
 High school sweeties.
 I love how excited my parents get telling us high school stories as we tour the school! :)
 
 After Alta Loma we headed to see my mom's house growing up! :)
After touring we were on the road where we napped, talked, and played the sculpt-a-carrot-with-your-teeth game (Trevor won the dolphin sculpt, and Jeff won the pig sculpt)! Best picture I've ever taken! :)
We had a blast and I can't wait til our next family vacation!!!

Dana Point, CA...Day THREE

Day three was full of lots of stuff!
Starting with an adorable little farmers market...
 Trev and his entourage!
 Cute jewelry!
 Unique and delicious fruit! Smartest booth ever! They had samples of every fruit! :)
Donut peaches...my new favorite donuts! :)
 We tried every single one :)



 The colors of these fruit inside and out were amazing! And yes, they tasted as good as they look!

 Safe to say that if I lived in Dana Point I would hit up this farmers market for the fruit EVERY WEEK!
 Pretty carrots!
 Eating tamales.
 The gang!
He really does love my kisses...promise!
 Then we headed to the harbor to explore!
 I love me some black and white :)
 One day I'll go on a sail boat!
 I love these two women! Two of my role models :)
 Having some fun with the reflection in Jeff's new Raybans!
 I love him!
 My parents are amazing!
 The family, minus Syd! :( dang cheer camp!
 The Stokes!
 Two love birds! Cec sure took good care of him after his accident! And Angel always takes care of her! :) Love them.
 The beautiful view of the harbor!
 After the harbor we tried to hit up a pier and boardwalk. We headed to the Newport pier but could not find a parking spot for miles! MY MIND WAS BLOWN at how packed it was. Literally not a single glimmer of hope for a parking spot. So we headed to the Fashion Island mall to look around and get some lunch! :) That is where I took this picture of the coi fish!
 When we got back to the condo we headed to the beach, despite the sunburns!
 Major ran straight into the water.
 Trevor ran out to surf!
 I was impressed!

 Swollen :)
 Cec, Angel and the boys played in the sand.
 Trev came back to shore, rested for a second, then headed right back out.
 The sunlight coming through the clouds was amazing. I feel like it's my grandpa out there with Trev. He loved surfing, the ocean, and Trevor...that's how I know he was there.
 Again...I want to go back! :)

Dana Point, CA...Day TWO

Day two we headed to the beach at 8:30 am (we were a little excited) then stayed there til 3!
The weather was perfect and we were ecstatic.
Little did we know we were getting FRIED!!!
Here's our fun...
 The gorgeous view before we make the hike down!

 My handsome man.
 Kisses for the misses.
 I spy my cute dad on the beach with the boys.
Excited.

 Another dream beach house.
 Look at that smile :)
 We literally had the beach to ourselves until noon.

 My gorgeous mom.

 More boogie boarding, of course.
 On your mark, get set, GO!

 Angel watching. :(
 My big kid boogie boardings.




 Baby model.
 He ate LOTS of sand that day. :)
 TOO CUTE.
 Then we played soccer on the beach where Trev and I beat the soccer pros, Cec and Angel! :)
 I couldn't stop laughing at this picture. Look at their poses, twinning. Haha.
 Then we saw a seal swimming, so we all got out for a second just in case a shark was following the lone seal. :) Can never be too safe.
 Jeff taught Major how to boogie.
  The whole beach crew.

 Don't move :)


 Jeff's sand castle.
 Gorgeous Cec made herself that headband from the ocean.
 And that necklace. She's a beach goddess!
 After the beach we all went back and showered then headed to Old Town San Diego for dinner.
 We ate at Fred's and didn't have the most pleasant experience. After an hour wait that was supposed to be 30 minutes, and watching all these parties that came after us be seated, we were finally seated. There were mistakes after mistakes on the check but overall the food was yummy and the company was great! :)


Day 2 was a blast but we were all burned and exhausted when we got home. However, if we had gone to the beach the next day we wouldn't have had the perfect sunshine weather. 
I want to go back already!!!!
