Memorial Day

So Jed got Memorial Day off and we decided to take a day trip to Morro Bay. Growing up in Lemoore, Morro Bay was "our beach." We would go there for camping trips with my mom and dad and stay at the overflow campground near Cambria. I have so many fond memories of the place that I love going back just to revisit. The Shell Shop is always and must and so is taffy down by the rock. Unfortunatly the Soldier Factory is gone in Cambria, but you can still visit the mock battlegrounds there. This trip was not a sightseeing one though. We drove to Cayucos and went out on the state beach there. It was cold there when the wind blew but it was still a nice day. Hyrum stayed bundled the whole day and of course my daredevil Ashlee just ran into the water with Daddy. My mom acted as the warming station when they got a little too cold. We then drove to Morro Bay to eat at the Hula Hut and get some Taffy. Before long it was time to head home. We had a fun day and just enjoyed getting some time off from life!! I just love this picture of Ashlee. She just looks like a big girl in it.

You are soooooo lucky to live so close to the beach. I am jealous!!! I have to drive more than 6 hours to find a beach somewhere. Definitely not a day trip. Ashlee has gotten so big I hardly recognize her. Have you talked more to your mom about coming for a visit? I would love to see all of you again!
