Our children have inherited the same love for the ocean that my husband and I have. This was made evident when Bry was recently asked what he wanted for his 18th birthday and he replied "A trip to the ocean with friends." We then loaded up the cars with skimboards, food and five teens and hit the road for Morro Bay. The guys had planned for this trip for weeks. They had purchased wetsuits and all the boarding supplies they would need to skim for a weekend. The guys spent many nights attaching tread and waxing their boards. They constantly had a website up to check wave heights and tide times. This was to be the best! The girls planned by filling bags with every last item they might need. Girls' bags are considerably larger than guys'! How much room do you need for a wetsuit and a towel though really? We arrived at night after a beautiful drive through the Paso Robles wine country and the coastal mountains. I had the girls in my car and the screams erupted as we pulled into Morro Bay. We had rented a home close to the beach that the children love. Choosing rooms, unpacking and heading up to the rooftop deck to see the ocean at night was first. Then we bundled up and headed down to the ocean for a night walk on the beach. Amazing how the shells glow on the beach in the night sky. The next morning came early as we set the alarms for 5AM, made coffee, packed the bag with pastries and headed to the beach to skimboard and hunt for treasures. Take a moment to click on the title Ocean Blessings and enjoy an overall website of our favorite place.

Thoughtful of Bry to pick a birthday present for the whole family. Oscar is the same way. When we asked him what we wanted for his 3rd birthday, he requested a bottle of red wine and a Spongebob marathan.
Your words and the photos are quite tantalizing...I really loved the part about the coffee and pastry beach breakfast.
Lots of love, Gemma
