Our vacation to Avila Beach...Warning! Many photos!


I am finally getting around to updating the blog...I'm telling you...going on vacation really puts you behind...but I am not complaining. We had a fabulous time and can't wait to visit our favorite beach spot again! We headed to Avila Beach with my mom and her new husband and stayed at their time share at the San Luis Bay Inn right in Avila...We love staying there as it is seconds from the sand...kid friendly, game room, pool, spa, kids activities, golf course...you name it, it is there...so we hardly left the resort. Kids had a blast and my brother and his family was able to come up for the weekend, which made it even more fun!


This was the moonlight at night from our room...so pretty. Jared and I took a few walks late at night after the kids were asleep, and the water was so calm and weather was perfect! There were soooo many sea lions in the water, watched them all day and night...



Kaylee just relaxing...there is a wonderful park just steps away from the resort...so we stopped by there a few times.







Brayden LOVED the beach until he took this NOSE DIVE...then he wasn't a big fan...but the pictures to follow will show you the good time he did have...
















On Tuesday we headed to Morro bay, about 30 minutes away and walked the wharf and visited the oh so famous pathetic aquarium...I have gone here since I was a teenager. The poor seals are so sad looking and the marine life in the tanks are even more sad...but we always make our visit to them...









We ate a couple times at our favorite place in Avila...Fat Cat's. Just a small little place, but SUCH GREAT food! Here we are at breakfast.






This is our view from the room...so beautiful..just beyond that rock is Shell Beach and Pismo beach...





Kids enjoying some pool time...everyday! Brayden LOVED the water!


We also visited another favorite spot in Avila...The Avila Farm. Kids had some homemade ice cream...fed the farm animals, got some fresh berries and Pumpkin and Zucchini bread to die for! This is a must stop for anyone!


















My niece Alyssa and Bryce having a blast with Cody and Kaylee...

My little beach ballerina princess!

Our little family on the balcony...

My mom, Skip and the kids...

This was a fun kid/family activity I saw in the Family Fun magazine...making your own beach bottles. The kids had fun collecting sea shells, (buying some sea shells), collecting sand and creating a masterpiece...


These last two shots I took the day before we left...he was loving being naked, so a mommy can never resist to take these shots...and well, sorry Brayden just had to post them! :)





We had such a wonderful week! We are looking forward to one last weekend getaway this weekend at the cabin in Huntington Lake...Jared is leaving though for Japan this weekend....so we are going to miss him. Then it will be time for school to start! Oh my!

What a fun vacation! I am definitely going to have to mark that down as a beach I want to visit! It looks gorgeous. And it is a major bonus that it is kid friendly! And of course, I love the nakey bum shots! :) Who could resist! I won't tell Brayden.
