....part 3 then done!

We had some unexpected guests the first night in San Simeon. Before we went to bed we put all of our dry food and perishables in the car, but did not think about the ice chest. Apparently, raccoons are smart enough to open ice chests, as well as drink juice boxes and eat raw eggs. I actually think it was pretty funny, and am glad there wasn't much more for them to get into.

So, after we discovered that, we went to go find a grocery store. We ended up in this cute lttle town called Morro Bay, where we also found a Starbuck's!!!! Yay! Joel didn't think it woul be chilly enough to bring long pants, so after the first two nights of him being freezing, we stopped and got these sexy Rite Aid pants.

We also found this great little park by the dock where the kids could play:

After that we went back and got changed for the beach. Kade didn't even want to go near the water this time...too cold. However, he did find a way to pass the time. He found these lovely older girls to charm, and brought Gavin with him to help! What studs!All that flirting tired him out because this is what he did at dinner:Then the drinks came, and he decided it was in his best interest to be awake:)

We woke up the next morning and packed up to get on the road. We stopped for lunch and more beach time in Santa Barbara and then dinner in L.A. We also made a pit stop at the outlets at Palm Springs (my idea!) We were able to make it home by midnight...not too shabby and the kids did terrific in the car. No ear plugs were used the entire trip!!!

I was happy to be home and have my shower and own bed, but boy do I miss everything else!
