It was "late in the season" by our standards, but we managed to squeeze in a trip to the beach before the Autumn cool down. Our final destination was the beach, but of course I had a few stops I wanted to make along the way.
First stop was in Costa Mesa at Sidecar Donuts.
I have been following this place on Instagram, so I really wanted to try it. They bake fresh donuts every hour, so your donuts are always warm and fresh. We waited in line for about 10 minutes, but it was completely worth it. This bakery also changes their donut menu every week too, so it gives me a good excuse to go back again and again...and again.
After sampling the best donuts ever, we went across the street to Cafe Rio for lunch. We got there right when it opened, which is I'm pretty sure, the best time to go. Every time we stop at one of these, there is a LONG line.
After full bellies of love, we made our way to a beach, just south of Newport Beach. At noon it was still pretty overcast, but since it was warm we went for it. It seemed to completely burn off after and hour or so. When I made plans for this day at the beach, I somehow zoned out on the fact that Bubba still had his cast on. Lucky for us, my dad told us about this plastic cast cover you could buy. We picked one up on the way and it worked great.
On our way home, we made one last stop for treats....Sprinkles Ice Cream and Cupcakes in NewPort! :)
That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....
So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
