Beach Trip - Jan 2017

On Monday, January 2nd we headed back down to the beach house in Carpinteria. We left around lunch, stopped for lunch in Santa Clarita and made it to the house by 5pm. This was Tubbs' first time to the house since he didn't go with us in November. He was taking photos on the deck.


Tuesday morning we ate breakfast at the house and then walked down to the beach. Then we headed into Carpinteria for some lunch at a bagel shop.




Then the real party showed up around 2:30! We were so happy to see family and thankful they made the drive down to spend 48 hours with us. Tuesday evening we headed into Carpinteria to an Italian restaurant for dinner. After dinner we watched some movies at the house.

 The kids sat in the hot tub even when it was raining.
Grandma playing some cards with the card sharks. 
Wednesday morning it was raining so the kids got in the hot tub before lounging around the house. 

Eventually in the afternoon we headed down to the beach and walked around a while in the rain. The kids had a lot of fun. Grandma, Holden and Luke stayed behind where it was dry and warm :)










 Grandpa was thinking about trying to jump onto the log in the ravine and I said, "don't do it Grandpa. This won't end well." haha.


Wednesday evening it was still raining pretty good so we ate close to the house at the Padaro Grill. Then we came back to the house, made some brownies and relaxed. The kids played some more games with Aunt Lindsay and Grandma---then everyone passed out.




Thursday morning we woke up a little earlier than the past few days and packed up our stuff. We said out goodbyes to family and then made our way home in the rain. We traveled together until Bakersfield, which was nice. We are so happy that our family came to spend some time with us at the Beach house. XOXOX

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.
