Long (Beach) Weekend

While it wasn’t a long weekend (unfortunately), we did head to Long Beach for the weekend. Mo and our neighbors Mike and Sarah ran the Long Beach 1/2 Marathon on Sunday. We did a quick trip, leaving on Saturday morning and getting back Sunday evening. Driving. With 2 little girls. Let’s just say that won’t be happening too often.

Here are the girls happy at the start of the adventure.

Ava was all about partaking in the carbo loading dinner the night before.  DSC03466

Ava and Sophie were happy to hang out with me at the hotel for a while. Ava is into a “hugging” phase. Here she is with a little dolly.DSC03472

And with a bigger (live) dolly aka Sophie.

After the run we met up with Mo’s aunt and uncle, Loma and Simon.  Ava had fun running around the patio.

And of course after seeing the photos, Chase wanted to get in on it as well. DSC03484

The kids were great travelers –  it was a lot of fun, just packed into a short time period. Next time we’ll enjoy California a bit more…
