Pismo beach camping

What a weekend! Brian took a half day on Friday and we drove up to Pismo for the weekend. It was Scott's first camping trip!
The trip started off a little rough as it was raining the whole way up and the whole first evening. Keeping a 20 month old entertained in someone else's motor home gets less fun as the evening progresses. We got to sleep in the empty toy trailer which sure beat sleeping in a tent in the rain which was great, but there was a bit of an incident the first night resulting in a bloody mouth for Scott and lots of tears (for Scott and for mommy) - so between the rain and the injury it is a wonder I didn't make Brian pack us up and head home that night....but we toughed it out and the rest of the weekend turned out great!

Saturday was sunny all day and Scott discovered all the motorcycles ("BIKE"). At first he was happy to just sit on all of them, but it wasn't long until daddy took Scott on a ride...resulting in "Daddy, more ride, peas!" being the theme of the rest of the weekend.
Just sitting by himself!
We also spent some time playing in daddy's truck. It was the blazer's maiden voyage to Pismo (or anywhere outside of our immediate neighborhood and Malibu for the day) which was pretty exciting for us (ahem, Brian).

Sweet ride baby boy!
We even got a family picture in the blazer (don't be shocked if you see this one again in Christmas card format, shots of the 3 of us {looking decent or otherwise} are few and far between)
Bump bump bump....22ish weeks!
Told ya they went for a ride....Scott couldn't get enough....he is totally hooked.....wonderful (sarcasm) : /
We also did a little photo shoot of the blazer

As a special treat daddy took us for a ride along the beach and Scott got to sit up front in my lap (since we were only going about 5mph and no sand dunes). It was the first time I've ridden in the blazer in years and Scott's first time ever!
At night we snuggled up by the fire for great company and smores. Scott even ended up falling asleep laying with me by the fire (best day ever, he is not a snuggler) wrapped up in his "pita" (pita is Scott's word for blanket...I have no idea how but there it is).
Sunday morning we went for a few more rides with daddy, in our jams no less.
We headed home mid day in time to stop for an early dinner in Ventura to celebrate Mimi's birthday. We had fish tacos at Beach Tacos on the pier - to.die.for.good....spicy garlic shrimp tacos - omg I could have eaten 10! A side note: I had Scott practice saying "happy birthday mimi" on thursday (her actual birthday) to say on the phone. So we get her on the phone and I tell him to say it...he says "happy neigh neigh mimi!!!!" Hilarious!
Pismo was great and I can't wait for our next camping trip! Scott did so well and really enjoyed spending time with his cousins!
