Easter eggstravaganza… sorry couldn’t resist!  

We seem to have celebrated Easter for two weeks. On the 1st, Redwood Shores held their egg hunt, not sure who enjoyed it more, Myles or Mummy.  I may have become competitive mummy excitedly pointing at the golden, prize winning egg, whilst Myles stared at me bemused… we got it though, score!

Americans do not take Easter as a holiday which is a shame, especially when reading everyone’s facebook updates back home about their 4 day weekend breaks. We did however squeeze in a lot of special activities.

Saturday we left the Peninsula bubble for some time with friends in the city, Myles enjoys playing with Scarlett, or Scar Scar as he enthusiastically refers to her, and harassing poor Minou the cat.  We took a stroll in the sun to the park, and stumbled across a nice little bar for a cheeky beer.  The entire day was most pleasant, well except for the high decibel screaming from a very over tired child, but we can blank that part out.

Sunday we ventured to Pismo Beach, you may have heard us talk of this place before. We first visited back in 2009, and again when we came out in December 2011.  I have a big soft spot for the place, it combines laid back easy living with a beautiful beach and great seafood.  Add a playpark on the beach, and you have the perfect family escape, no worries, no hassle, no time constraints, bliss.

This time we were able to meet up with our friends that were over in SoCal on holiday from the UK.  It truly felt like a little mini vacation and Myles had great fun with Neeve and Connor, dutifully agreeing to do or go wherever Neeve suggested… a life lesson for the boy about woman me thinks!

Pretty much a perfect weekend, a bit of city, a bit of beach and all in one weekend…not something we’d ever do back in Guildford.

Myles loves sand (and trucks)
