We opted to stay one more day and just relax at the beach for the day. This time, we decided to drive to Coronado to a beach we have visited in the past. The weather was perfect and the water was a little chilly, but didn't deter swimmers, surfers or Connor.
Tom actually thought he might relax and read on the beach. Riiight.
Instead the boys got him to play in the water.
Ian enjoyed a short leash of freedom to run down to the water and fill up his sand buckets.
He did need some assistance with the large green bucket.
The boys then decided to get covered in sand. Ian loved it.
So did Connor.
A view of the Hotel del Coronado.
Daddy enjoyed being covered in sand.
And when he emerged as some crazy sand monster, the boys LOVED it.
Following a quick rinse and change, we drove and found a little seafood restaurant on the bay that Tom and I have eaten at several times. As it turned out, they changed hands and became a much swankier place to eat, which we didn't realize until we were out on the deck. Swanky isn't too much our speed. The food was good and we all got some hot cocoa to chase the chill in the air.Camping Update: Visit Tom's blog for photos and stories! Yes, he actually posted and spent most of his morning playing with his photos. Happy to have them home. Off to see a baseball game tonight....although none of us really seem in the mood, except Connor. I am certain that will change once we get there.
