California dreaming and wake up :( Day 3

What does Day 3 hold? Well, first, sleep. We were a bit slower getting our motors going on Day 3 only because we all could have slept longer. After we got ourselves out of the hotel, we headed to get some breakfast. Tatum got her coveted bagel and cream cheese while Doug salivated over it since he’s off gluten. He went to order his power quinoa oat thingamajig only to find out they were all out of all oats. So….coffee to power up I guess.

Ok, off to the final beach experience. We only brought the frisbee and ONE sand toy since it was kind of foggy still and we did not plan on staying long. The sand, again, interested Tot more than the frisbee, so Doug and I volleyed for about an  hour or so as Tatum continued to feed the whales; back and forth; pick up sand, dump, return. Pick up sand, dump, return. IMG_4104IMG_4101 IMG_4102

So kind of her to think of those whales. According to her, it was chocolate that they were receiving. Lucky whales. IMG_4103We had to get on the road, so we rinsed off in the water and told Tot not to fall into the sand because she would be covered in sand again. In one ear….

and out the other. My cute little sandy girl.

We returned to the hotel to get cleaned off, checked out, and headed……

to get coffee.

OK, and then off back to Phoenix.

Did I say it was a piece of heaven? Well it was. Three full wonderful, glorious, beautiful days with Tatum and Doug. Oh, and the beach was phenomenal too. XOXO
