A quick trip to Pismo

Chad's family had planned a family camping trip to Pismo from Thursday the 17th until the Tuesday the 23rd. Because of Chad's birthday, we decided to only go for a couple days so we could celebrate his birthday with our friends. We left after lunch and Hill (Chad's sister) and her friend Jamie went with us. Makenna slept through most part of the trip and we sang the entire way there.

It was cold there, but it was nice and quite a relief considering how hot it was in Fresno. Chad, Makenna and I went for a little walk to the beach and all we really saw were cars coming out of the beach (we were in Oceano). We didn't go on the sand or anything, it was just a walk!
Then we went back and had dinner by the fire. Makenna ate on her stroller and everybody was impressed and commented on what a good girl she is. She was just sitting there watching everybody, chewing on her grapes. She didn't cry once that night :) Everybody wanted to hold her and she was easily entertained by Jane's sweatshirt cord!

We had smores after dinner and sat by the fire after it got dark playing Loaded Questions. It was so much fun.

Sleeping wasn't the best. We forgot to bring a pack n' play, so Makenna slept with us on a very hard and pretty small bed inside a RV! But we survived!
Snoozing with daddy before getting up(Chad is touching the wall and Makenna is on the very edge. That's how big our bed was!!)
We had a big Father's Days breakfast of eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, biscuit and fruit and got our stuff ready and packed back in the car. Mom and Joey were leaving in the morning to go back to Fresno. We decided to go to Avila with Kari and her crew. Hill and Jamie decided to stay with us and enjoy the day :) Before leaving we went to play at the campsite's playground.

This was Makenna's first time at the beach. We let her crawl from the blanket to the sand and put sand in her mouth. It was so cute and so funny. She seem to enjoy playing with the sand but not so much when it ended up in her mouth!
After the beach we went to San Luis Obispo to have lunch and do a little bit of shopping before getting back on the road. We played our own version of Pyramid to keep us from falling asleep on the way back. It was a great day and we had so much fun, but we sure were glad to be back home. Makenna was in the best mood ever when we got home and so excited. I think she was glad to be home as well.

It sounds like you had so much fun. I totally laughed at the faces she made when she ate the sand, too funny.
