Cayucos Beach weekend

At the end of our first week of kindergarten Grandma and Gpa treated us to a fantastic end of summer beach vacation in Cayucos.  

We headed up friday as soon as school let out and made great time to the central coast.

We arrived to this stunning view of the town and the ocean....


Exploring.  Throughout the weekend we were able to see many seals, a sea otter and at least one whale.  And apparently there was even a near shark attack a few miles down the beach from where we were boogie boarding (the shark only took a chunk out of the surfer's board), which I'm glad we did not see.

That night we did some puzzles (before the end of the weekend Scott had done every puzzle in the entire house, at least once if not multiple times.  The kid loves puzzles)

And drew more ta-waan-chew-wahs (tarantulas) than I can count


The next morning the boys were ready to hit the beach bright and early.  And lucky for this mama there was an amazing coffee shop around that corner that served up some matcha with almond milk, just my style!

We boogie boarded and flew kites





Love these beach boys.


That afternoon we explored the town and checked out not only the local cookie company that made the most ridiculous brown butter cookies (gluten free, egg free and nut free.....YAY for owen!) but also got some ice cream.  Treats all day when you're on vacation.

Family photo attempt.  No smile from Owen.  Typical.

That evening we explored the tide pools - and this picture just melted my heard!

And of course enjoyed some wine!





I will never tire of ocean views:


The pictures will not do justice, but that night we watched the moon rise over the town, it was pretty spectacular.


The next morning we headed a little ways down the coast and stopped in Pismo for a little extra beach time before we headed home.



The waves were pretty rough, but that didn't slow Scott down for one second.


It was the perfect weekend and the best way to end our first week of school and say goodbye to summer.  Thanks for a great time Grandma and Gpa.
