Carlsbad Beach

After our time at the Carlsbad Flower Fields, we drove across the highway to the beach. I'm not sure how much or even if she remembers our vacation at Pismo Beach last year, but Rachel sure loved being on the beach today. Although she still doesn't like the feel of sandy hands. LOL.

We strolled the beach for about half a mile. The girls picking up rocks and sea shells with Uncle Bart. Rachel thinking it was funny when the incoming waves just missed her. LOL. After our time at the beach, we went back to Uncle Bart's condo and looked at all the pictures we'd taken today. We went to dinner and then back to Uncle Bart's place.

On trips when I don't know how late we'll be out, I always throw the girls' pajamas in the car, that way when they fall asleep in the car on the way home, they can be easily put to bed and not have to be awakened to put jammies on. After a wonderful afternoon and evening, it was time to head for home. I did a diaper change and got the girls into their jammies, refilled sippie cups, and annoucned it was time to leave. Rachel started crying, she didn't want to leave Uncle Bart. She thought because I put her jammies on, it meant she was spending the night with him. LOL. However, once in the car it didn't take long before the girls were fast asleep. They were worn out from all the walking we did and fresh air we were exposed to.
