Spring Break: Friday

On Friday, we slept in a bit and then walked down to Kono's for breakfast. This place is a popular spot and the line can be down the boardwalk to get in. You order from the counter and they bring you your food... if you can find a seat. We lucked out that it wasn't too crowded when we got there. The food was delicious and huge!

The girls had a surf lesson in the late morning, so we walked to the surf school, which was just down the boardwalk from our hotel. They got fitted for wetsuits.

And goofed around while we waited for the instructor.

Learning how to get up on the board.

After a bit of practice on sand, they hit the waves! Avery did pretty well from the start. The instructor had said her dance experience would help her a lot. Once she got up on the board, she was able to balance pretty well.

Morgan was a little more of a wild card! It was harder for her to balance on the board. She wiped out quite a few more times than Avery, but she kept trying! She eventually got it figured out. The instructor let them have a little extra time in the water, which was nice.

Oh, this is when the girls got all tangled up! The instructor had to come over and help them out. They had to remove their ankle straps and separate!

Avery was doing really well riding the waves in!

Here's Morgan staying up on the board.

She was SO happy this time that she made it all the way in!

Avery says to me when they finished... I can't feel my feet! The water was so cold, her feet were numb! Good thing they had the wetsuits. They both had so much fun and said they would do it again!

We got back to the hotel and the girls asked if they could get frozen drinks even if it wasn't Happy Hour. Of course, it's our last day and it's gorgeous outside!

We were off schedule today since we ate breakfast late, so we ended up just grabbing a quick lunch in the afternoon at the Hideaway. Morgan wanted to get the pretzel one more time before we left San Deigo!

After lunch, the girls and I did some souvenir shopping while Dad went to gas up the car.

We made it back to the hotel for our last round of freshly baked cookies!

The girls grabbed a soccer ball from the hotel and we went down to the beach for a bit.

Soaking up as much beach time as we can before we have to leave.

We spent some time packing up our bags and getting ready for our early wake-up on Saturday. Our flight was at 7:00 AM, so we had to be up at 4:30 to get to the airport. We ordered some apps from room service since we had eaten lunch so late and we weren't really that hungry. There was a beautiful sunset our last night!
