last weekend we packed up the car and drove an hour to santa cruz.
kevin's company was having a beach bash so we thought it'd be a fun place to spend eli's birthday.
(we actually celebrated his birthday the next weekend)
we cruised the famous little boardwalk and let ivy ride the rides.
that's definitely a once-is-enough kind of place,
but ivy really enjoyed it.
and eli enjoyed his first ice cream cone :)
we met up with kevin's co-workers on the beach
and ate, played in the sand and had our caricature drawn.
the next day we rode a steam train through the redwoods.
i found this somewhere and it seemed like a cool thing,
but it was probably a cooler idea in my head than what it ended up being.
(hot, long and crowded).
kevin and i always like to joke about what my dad would be like in these situations.
(not well. not well at all.)
all staying in one hotel room together wasn't the greatest night's sleep, either.
i thought it was fun to be bunked up together and ordering room service.
kevin thought i was crazy.
traveling with kids is just sort of a fickle thing - it can turn out too many different ways.
oh well, it's still fun.
live and learn.
a very happy birthday to my sweetest little boy.
i'll do a real post later.
when i told ivy it was eli's birthday,
her eyes got big and she said "we have to make eli a birthday card!!!"
oook.
