California Road Trip Day 5, 6 and 7

We started day 5 out in Pismo Beach before making our longest drive of the week down to Santa Monica.

Breakfast of champions overlooking the ocean. ; )

We met our good friends, the Salsas, for lunch before we all headed to the Santa Monica Pier. The kiddos rode the carousel with their dads and then we played on the swings on the beach. The rest of the day, we took it easy hanging out and catching up. It was so great to see Eric and Diana and meet their precious kiddos! Thanks for having us, guys!

Rael and Carson were fast friends!

Our last full day of the trip, we made our way south to San Diego to visit the zoo and meet our friends, the Beltraminis, for dinner. It just so happens that we caught the zoo on the 1 in 5 days that it actually rains in San Diego each year. What luck?!?!? Thankfully, they had a bus tour that we could take around the zoo to avoid the rain for a bit. The rain cleared up after a bit, so we were able to enjoy the zoo even more. It was a great zoo!

It was so great to see Ryan and Alisha and meet their adorable kiddos! Oh, how we wish these California guys were closer! Love you all so much!

Someone obviously wasn't interested in having her picture made, ha!

Precious, precious girls!

Love this girl!

The main item on the itinerary for our final day was enjoying a spanish latte from Urth Caffe. It did not disappoint!

We had such an awesome week together exploring the California coast. I am so glad we took the leap and made the trip with the kiddos. The kiddos were great, maybe even better than we ever expected. Here's to many more adventures! We are looking forward to it!
