At the end of June we found ourselves burning the candle at both ends. With Andy's work requiring a great deal of attention as the company geared up for a launch at Starbucks (translation: insane work hours and stress), and Lucia still waking up several times a night, we all felt rather maxed out and in need of some down time to regroup. Although Andy couldn't take time off of work, we decided a staycation in Solana Beach (just 15 minutes from our house) would provide just what we needed...cool salty mornings, miles of sand, endless waves, coffee shops, and just a change of pace for a little while.
So off to the beach we went in search of rest, relaxation and renewal.
Packing up the kids and our life always seems daunting, but once we arrived at our adorable rental house just off of Cedros Avenue, I could feel the weight lifting from my shoulders. We spent nearly a week there where we...
...soaked in long morning walks (after stopping at our favorite coffee shop) along the deserted beach.
...welcomed silliness and photo shoots.
...went to a concert at Fletcher's cove where great tunes, good vibes and a killer ocean view melded together for one beautiful evening.
...stepped up to the counter at Pizza Port for some beer and pizza.
...explored cool caves, rock features and lifeguard towers.
...walked up, down and all around Solana in dirty feet.
...enjoyed delicious dinners and wine on our patio.
...read some new books while practicing our new skill of standing up.
...experienced the Solana beach farmers market just a few blocks from our place. Fresh berries, fish tacos, coconuts, and cupcakes...mmmmmm
...played in the sand every day.
...soaked in some precious moments just being together.
