So we went on a week long vacation to California! We first went to San Luis Obispo and watched my brother Chris and Sarah get married. It was pretty exciting as it was outside on one of the beaches my family used to go to ALL the time; Avila Beach. The weather was amazing up until it got too dark to see what was going on and then it was cold.
We stayed at the Embassy Suites and it was an awesome hotel. They had the best continental breakfast ever! Omeletes, different types of breads, cereals, drinks, pancakes, bacon and potatoes. We brought Tippy along with us and she did rather well. When we got home from the wedding, she had broken out of her crate and was sitting on one of the hotel chairs. She wouldn't sleep on the extra bed by herself, so I slept on the bed with Tippy and Michael had the other bed to himself. Talk about spoiled!
On Friday we walked around Avila Beach and then took Tippy to Pismo Beach. She was terrified of the water but loved to walk on the sand.
On Saturday we went to Avila Valley Barn and bought my favorite Peach Cobbler! Delicious!! We also bought some most delicious salsa: peach mango habanero salsa, black bean and corn salsa, and peach chipotle salsa. They were all awesome! Then we went to Apple Farm Restaurant and had some home-made cooking. It was all so good. That night we went on a walk down Avila Beach with my dad and his dog Jax. Tippy and Jax had a good time.
On Sunday (I know we are so bad) we went to the gamer convention that was being held in our hotel! We bought Alhambra, Puerto Rico, Cave Troll and The Good, the Bad and the Munchkin. All these games were 1/2 off! That is almost impossible to come across! We were so excited!
At 12 we headed out towards Huntington Beach. We went and stayed with Ben & Heidi (Heidi is Michael's cousin). They have 2 little boys (Sam is almost 4 and Trenton is almost 2). Sam and Tippy fell in love. Tippy would walk Sam out to the bus each morning and when Sam came home the first thing he said was "Where's my Tippy?" It was super cute and also nice as he kept her entertained. Ben, Heidi, Michael and I played board games for 3 straight days. I got really sick of thinking games pretty quickly. But we all had a ton of fun! Yay for vacation!
PS. We are going to visit Ben & Heidi again from August 1-6! We are crazy but way excited!

What a fun trip! We love Embassy Suites, it's the only play we stay in Cali - their breakfast is the BEST!
I would be so so jealous if I didn't have my own Cali trip in two weeks. Glad you had fun! We missed you.
