People may laugh but ever since I was a small child the beach has meant Morro Bay/San Simeon. I don't think of Hawaii or Santa Cruz. I grew up camping in San Simeon and shopping the small town of Cambria. We always go to the Shell Shop in Morro Bay and occasionally visit the small aquarium there. I absolutely love it there and I enjoy being able to take my kids there now too. Jed had to work on a Saturday so my family and I packed up the kids and we drove out there. Funny that we packed coats and blankets and it ended up being the 
hottest weekend of the summer (well above 90!). 
The place was packed which made me a little sad because for some dumb reason I always thought it was our families special little place. The rest of the world wasn't supposed to know about it!!! We went to the shell shop and then to the Thomas Kincaid gallery (mom's favorite!). Then we actually went to the beach next to Morro Rock and let the kids play in the sand and ocean. 
The water was freezing, but with the heat it actually felt really good. Hyrum loved playing in the sand and digging little trenches with Aunt Lena. 
Ashlee has no fat on her so she was quickly FREEZING and begging me to hold her while I ran out in and out of the water. We had a fun time and ended the day with salt water taffy and ice cream cones in Cambria! It was a fun time for all and I hope to go back someday soon (hopefully when it isn't quite as hot!) By the way - isn't my little Hyrum just too cute for words???

That looks like so much fun. I wish I lived closer to the ocean.
I love the ocean. And how dare those other people come to your spot! Imposters! :) You guys look great!
I wish we could all be at the beach together and yes Hyrum is way too cute for words! I would not even have recognized him because he is getting so big!
I can't believe the kids are sooooo big! Looked like a wonderful day. I am missing the beach right about now!
