We checked out of our hotel and began our long drive down to LA. I have to say the mapquest phone app has been a bit frustrating to us. Many times this trip it has had us turning right only to make a U turn at the next intersection. Today it wanted us to drive north a couple of hours before driving south to LA. Good thing Bryan checks the directions before we take off so we can ignore it when needed.
We made it to Huntington Beach by the early afternoon. It was really overcast and windy but the kids were determined to get in the water. We found a spot, paid for parking, changed clothes and got in the water. It wasn't too cold and the kids jumped right in.
We had taken some sports things to play with - a frisbee, volleyball, etc. and the seagulls kept trying to steal our stuff. It was pretty funny watching the bird peck at our ball.
After about 2 hours in the water, we packed it up, changed clothes and drove to the Freeman Beach House (that's what we call Kristina and Mark's house). They are so nice to let us stay at their house when we are passing through.
We had dinner, which my kids loved, then the kids showered and got ready for bed. They are on "vacation time" so they got to watch tv a bit before going to bed.
Bryan and I stayed up with Mark and watched tv while we waited for Kristina to get back from a girls camp planning meeting.
Then we went to their hot tub for a while before going back and getting ready for bed. They are always fun to hang out with!
Tomorrow morning we head home!!
