Did you know there's a place that, even when the entire rest of the country is in a bigtime heat wave, is pretty darn cold and foggy?
We knew. Thank goodness; we were well prepared. The coast is often cold in the summer, colder than winter months even.
Grandpa and Nana live in Germany. They just finished 2 of their 3 years, but they got to come see us before flying back. And not only did they come see us, but they brought this!
We get to use it for the year, and we already have several reservations lined up to go on weekend trips. We decided on Half Moon Bay while they were here, so they could show us how to use it. Other than being incredibly crowded in the motorhome (7 people, including a crib), it was so so so much fun. Tyler assumed his normal position on his "perch" right behind Grandpa while it was in motion. Tanner wasn't a big fan but he will be soon.
We took bikes and rode up and down the bike trail there. Emma ate her beloved Clam Chowder to her heart's content (and it was really good). Our hair curled in the morning mist. We were kept up at night by the fog horn on the jetty. We ate yummy food (have you had Trader Joe's cinnamon crumble coffee cake?), visited the tidepools, discovered a little private beach littered with seaweed, and spent lots of great time with the grandparents. Tanner even almost warmed up to them!
Also, Tanner started walking this week. I dare you to NOT smile when looking at this picture? He is SO proud.
And this handsome boy of mine turned 6.
All fun things to have grandparents around for. And now we have this wonderful vehicle in our backyard for a while, but we can't wait for it to get out of the backyard! (Anyone have any great places to go camping?)

Seriously such a cool cake and candle(s). :) I really wish I had a reason to make one. Haha
I am officially jealous of your new backyard addition! Too fun!
So when are you going to drive it out here and pick us up???
love the cake :)
I'm so jealous of the motor home AND the cake!! We do live in a beautiful place, though. I'm full of gratitude every single morning when I open my eyes!
FUN!!!! Spencer's parents look great, your kids look darling, and we think it's awesome that you guys have a new toy to play with. Hopefully Spencer will get lots of days off to make good use of the motorhome in the coming year. Thinking of you!
xoxo
I love your opening sentence!!!!
Love that cake too!!!!!!
It looks like you had a great time with Kathy and Joe! We were lucky to spend an afternoon with them at the cabin which was a lot of fun. You will have some adventures in the motorhome! Does Trader Joes ship? That cake sounds divine!
What a cool cake!! Totally going to do this for Becca's Birthday
