We took our first family trip alone for 5 days to Oceanside. We wanted a beach, beach view and pool. We were able to find exactly what we wanted. We had great weather all week long.
Breakfast the first morning there. The kids have retired to booster seats.
Corryn at breakfast. Raise your hand if you're enjoying yourself!
Brady at breakfast. I guess this is equivalent to to thumbs up.

The first weekend of April, Grandpa and Granny Jurgenson took the entire family back to Pismo for the weekend. The hotel, the town is loved by all of us. It will at the minimum an annual trip. Here are some highlights.
Corryn is never short on smiles.

November 6th – 9th, 2008. Granny and Grandpa J took Uncle Chris, “Auntie” Laura, Mommy and Daddy to Pismo Beach for all our birthdays. On our drive we stopped in to see “Auntie” Nay in Santa Barbara. It has been over a year since we last saw her. Afterwards we stopped on the pier for some clam chowder before heading to our final stop.

The weekend of September 18th – 21st, we took the kids out for their FIRST overnighter. We took them for 4 days to our Annual friend El Capitan State Beach trip. We had, between kids and adults, over 35 people this year. We rented a motorhome to accommodate all their needs, as well as ours. The weekend was a success due in part with all the help from our friends…usually during meal preparation time.
