Happy Birthday and Mother's Day








We had a fun-filled weekend celebrating my birthday and Mother's Day. It started off on Thursday going to SLO for some family pictures and enjoying the Farmer's Market. We purchased all our fresh fruits and vegetables for the week at the market and was able to have Firestone's...my favorite! If you haven't eaten at Firestone's you should add it to your "top 10 places to visit in my lifetime" list.

Friday, my birthday, we spent the day just doing errands and then went to another favorite restaurant, Giuseppe's in Pismo Beach with some friends.

Saturday, we headed up to San Simeon State Park and took the family camping. After we set-up camp we drove about 17 miles up Hwy 1 to the Salmon Creek Trail Head, just passed Ragged Point. We hiked to a waterfall that was so beautiful. Lily was in her carrier and Garrett was on daddy's shoulders. We also stopped by to see the elephant seals, thousands of them laying out on the beach. Afterward, we went back to camp and roasted marshmallows and watched Garrett climb trees and dance to Jack Johnson, he is so silly.

The next morning we hiked over to the beach and the boys though rocks while the girls took pictures. Then drive north to the San Simeon State Beach and had a picnic and played in the sand and water with the kiddos.

It was a perfect weekend. Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies out there!
