On Thursday I took a vacation day from work and we headed down to Crystal Cove, just south of Corona Del Mar, for our first beach day of the summer. Weather was absolutely perfect...thankfully.
We arrived around noon, but we brought an ice chest so we all snacked from that and then played until after 5pm.
Big daddy played out in the surf with the boys for a few hours. Wiggy hung out as long as she could. She preferred walking up and down the beach looking for shells.
A few silly selfies for the girl....
Bubba made some sand boobs he was very proud of....
Me and my sweetie wearing his favorite color!
After leaving the beach we washed up in the beach showers and changed. Then we drove a few miles into Costa Mesa to grub at Cafe Rio. Bubba opted for chicken and waffles next door at Bruxie's.
After dinner we drove into Newport Beach to get some Sprinkles ice cream and cupcakes. Perfect way to top off the day.
We LOVE summer vacation and we LOVE the beach!
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.
