I hope that you are as excited as I am that this/these posts are finally finished! We had a wonderful Spring Break and are excited to share our pictures. Before I do, let me give a little background on our trip.
This is how our first conversation went:
Carynn- "I can not wait for Spring Break! We will finally get two weeks off that we do not have to share with a major holiday like Thanksgiving or Christmas. I want to go somewhere where I can relax, read books, eat and get a tan. Somewhere where the kids will have a blast but do not have to be with us every second of the day. I want a VACATION!!!"
Steve- "I have been thinking about this vacation and know exactly what we will do. I will plan everything. Don't worry about a thing!"
Carynn- "That would be awesome! Not only will I get a great vacation- but I don't even have to think about it. What could be better??"
Okay- in case you are wondering- I was thinking along the lines of a cruise. Great food, fun, relaxation. This was not what Steve was thinking, however.
I have to admit that I was slightly disappointed when I saw his blow by blow itenerary of the trip, but I would NOT change it for the world! The vacation was AWESOME!! By the way- I did get great food and I did read 3 books!! The tan is another story.
So... here are pictures of the vacation with brief notes. For some reason, I can only post 5 pictures at a time- so I had to break this up into many posts. Take a journey with our family up the California Coast!!! (it is 13 posts long- so you will have to go into older posts to see the entire trip).
Enjoy!!!

Spring Break- finally!
Solvang- a little Dutch town on the way to San Luis Obispo
This is how we toured the town. I guess that is why we don't have many pictures. This was harder and more dangerous than it looks. I was more worried about tipping over than taking pictures! In case your wondering about the flat little person with us. She is "Flat Keaton" (Stanley). She went everywhere on our trip with us before she was sent back to Hailey's first grade classroom in Chandler, AZ.
Leaving Solvang
On our way to San Luis Obispo
On the PCH- notice how close the ocean is- isn't California great!
San Luis Obispo
This is where we ate Easter dinner. It was my kids favorite restaurant on the trip. It is called The Cracked Crab in Pismo Beach. They bring your dinner out and pour it on the table. They give you any and every tool imaginable to crack your crab. It was so much fun!
