We just celebrated out 17th anniversary. Origionally we were going to leave the kids at home but my mom and sister were both out of town so we decided to have a family trip. This was the last weekend before school started...we tried camping in Yosemite. We drove the whole way there only to find the entire park full, plan b: we drove to a hotel(full), c: another hotel(full), d-?: etc... finally in Oakhurst we were told, at yet another hotel, that all lodging from Yosemite to Fresno was 'No Vacancy'.
I love being spontaneous, but it sucks when everyone else has a reservation.
So we went home that night.
Saturday morning I got on the interwebs and made a reservation for a hotel in Berkley. We decided that everyone was in the mountains so it might be safer to go to the coast. We spent the first day in Berkley walking around, had a lovely dinner and Saturday evening took the kids to the IMAX theater to see Harry Potter in 3d. Sunday we spent at the ocean. We went to the Pt. Reyes light house and spent the rest of the day at Drakes Bay Beach. The weather was a perfect 60 degrees. The sand was warm. The water was cold. We had fun drawing on the sand, the kids had fun picking up shells. I was barefoot all day. We drove home in the evening - back to the 90 degrees.
