We made the most out of our fall break, driving to sunny Southern California for a few days.
We had to be out of our house for a couple days while we got our floors fixed, and Manina found us a nice little AirBnB in Encinitas for us to stay at. So, we left Finley with Claire’s friend Allie and hit the road.
Once we got to California we spent most of our time at the beach.

Specifically, we went to Del Mar beach, right between 18th and 19th streets. We went there every day we were down there. The weather was perfect. One day we were laying around on our beach towels and Megan mentioned how blue the sky was. Then we noticed that there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. Not a wisp, nothing. Nothing but blue as far as the eye could see.

We met up with our good friends, the Denneys, a couple times. It was fun to hang out with them and meet their newest additions (twins!).

We also found some time to shop around and eat lots of good food. Claire and Drew found an awesome little candy store and pretty much emptied their piggy banks and college savings there.

Katelyn, Megan, and I went out to an aptly-named dessert bar called Creme & Sugar and got ourselves a Cookie Monster dessert.

We spent our last evening hanging out with the entire Denney crew and went to watch the sun set into the Pacific.

Afterward we took the entire crew out to dinner to celebrate a fun fall break away.

The Denneys let us crash at their home on Saturday night and we hit the road early on Sunday to drive back home. We had a great trip and enjoyed being down in sunny Encinitas for a few days. What a great place!
