Two weekends ago, Tristan and I enjoyed the luxury of flying home for four days. I Found out Monday I had the next Monday and Tuesday off work, by Wednesday two tickets were booked. Our pilot flew us along the coast for about 10 minuets before landing in Long Beach.
hello ocean.
Our plane landed around 6:00 and we were picked up by Shawn and his sexy mustang. Thank you Shawn! Friday night we hung with the Perdue's for a bit and met my family at golden spoon for ice cream. Saturday morning was Mormon Helping Hands in Carlsbad. There were a few locations you could pick to volunteer at. My family went to a nearby park, and the Perdue's went to Tamarack Beach. Tristan helped out at the beach while I ditched out on helping and ran 8 miles along the coast. It is crazy how many people are exercising along the 101 on a Saturday morning. So motivating, so relaxing. The rest is a blur. But the everyday basics were: morning run with Kelsey and Jeremyx3, beachx4, Mexican foodx3, BBQx2, shoppingx3, hang with familyx4. Tris is not much of an all day sun bather, like me, but as long as we brought an umbrella along he was as happy as a peach sitting in the shade reading his book.

Monday, Tristan decided he wanted a surfboard of his own to use while he is living in Carlsbad this summer. I had no objections. So, we went to Surf Ride and he picked out just what he wanted.
