Andrew's First Beach Day

One of the joys of being on summer vacation is having the luxury of waking up and asking your hubby, "What do you want to do today?" Sorry to rub this in but you have to remember that teachers endure 10 months of organized chaos only to have the summer vacation to regain all remaining ounces of sanity to start the process all over again. So alas, waking up on Monday morning on my maternal clock rather than o'dark early and then making the decision to head down to La Jolla and spend a little "Kyle and me" time was a welcomed idea.

We packed up and made our way down the California coast for what promised to be a beautiful day. The weather was amazing, a cool 78 degrees, which of course, made for one very happy pregnant lady! You have to remember that La Jolla holds a certain significance to Kyle and I as this is the place of our first date together 12 years ago, as well as the location of every anniversary to follow. More importantly, La Jolla is where Kyle proposed and well, the rest is history! We visited the harbor seals and checked out the fat squirrels who beg for food almost as bad as JD. Our day in La Jolla concluded with an ocean terrace dinner at George's, the restaurant where Kyle took me the night he proposed as well. The view was breathtaking and the atmosphere was so romantic.

We then decided to move our way up the coast and stopped at the Torrey Pines State Park where we played in the sand, collected shells, and marked Andrew's first beach day with his name in the sand at sunset. It was such a fun filled day and I am so glad that Kyle and I were able to spend some time together. I have been advised by many moms not to forget hubby during motherhood so we figured we would get a head start now. It's funny how much two people can truly enjoy the simple things in life.
