Family Vacation

Taylor and I have not really had a "family" vacation together in the past year or two. Sad, I know. It seems we each have taken our own little trips here or there, but because of one reason or another we haven't been able to go anywhere together as a family in quite a while. Finally we had decided enough was enough, and headed down for a quick two-day turnaround beach trip to San Diego with the kids.

San Diego was actually where it all began for us. A bit more than ten years ago, my family ran into Taylor and his family on Mission beach. (Taylor was already a good friend from college, so running into him on the beach was quite the coincidence.) Ditching our parents the next couple of days (sorry mom and dad, now that I think about it, it was quite rude) we ended up spending every waking hour together walking the beach, the bay, the boardwalk, belmont park, eating pizza, and watching sunsets. Although nothing never happened between us on that trip, I'm pretty sure it was the first time either of us had thought of each other in a "more than friend" way. We were married about a year and a half after that.

This trip, instead of hitting the crowded Mission Beach, we took the kids to the much more subdued Carlsbad State Beach. More surfers for Taylor to have a man crush on.....and less people so we dont lose any kids. We were all in paradise.
