San Clemente

Every year we go down to San Clemente with Dave's family.  This little vacation couldn't have come at a better time, with all the house renovating going on we haven't had a chance to relax in quite a while.

Dave, the kids, and I were able to go down a little early and have a few days of quality family time.  I have realized that when living with family you have to make an extra effort to continually build your relationship with your spouse and kids.  Because there are so many people around it is easy to find yourself climbing into bed at night having only spoken two words to your spouse all day.  OK maybe that is an exajeration, but I find that Dave and I don't talk as much as we did when living on our own.  Needless to say this family time was great and the kids really enjoyed all the time with their daddy.


The other thing that was awesome about the vacation is that we were able to see all of Dave's brothers and sisters.  Everyone came.  The family is getting so big with all the spouses and kids, we don't all fit in the condo anymore.  I also had fun watching Payton and Lincoln getting to interact with their auties and uncles and cousins.


During the trip we spent a lot of days at the beach, in the pool, and just hanging out.  These pictures are of when Dave and I tooks the kids down to the pier.  Lincoln was so cute he totally fell asleep in the stroller holding his toy out in front of him.


I have more pictures coming of our trip.  Stay tunned...
