During my teen years, I grew up going to Huntington Beach. Every time we travel to southern California, we take our kids there, and they LOVE it! This time, they even tried boogie boarding!

Huntington Beach
Spring Break-beach time!
The last day of our vacation we went to my grandpa’s house to swim for a bit before heading to Huntington Beach! I love how we hit the snow earlier in the week and the beach later! Gotta love southern CA!

First swim of the year!
I grew up swimming in this pool, so I love watching my kids swim in it! That diving platform felt SO HIGH to me when I was little!

It was cold water, but the kids didn’t care!
The kids LOVE the beach! We could spend all day here easily!

We had SUCH a great vacation, and can’t wait to go back to California!

On Tuesday we went to the beach! The kids had so much fun and could of stayed there all day! The weather was perfect, and Asher was in heaven with so much sand and water! When we first saw the beach I asked him what it was and he said, “A big pool and lots of sand boxes!!!” You can tell he’s not a Californian!
You can also tell he’s not a Californian by the way he rubbed his eyes with sandy fingers. My kids could not figure out how to eat their lunch at the beach without getting sand all over their food. Such rookies!

That night, me and James went to an Angels baseball game (with my cousin, dad, and uncle) because they were playing the Texas Rangers! How lucky was James? I grew up going to Angels games and so it was fun for me to bring out my old hat and cheer on the home team!

I brought the “past into the present” again with a picture of me and my cousin, John, at an Angels game about 20 years ago.

The Rangers won so James was happy! I did catch James eyeing the Angels World Series trophy. The Rangers were so close last year!
