Spring Break So Far

For Spring Break this year, we decided to go to the beach- a warm beach. So we did. In fact, we went to two! Huntington Beach got two days (but no pictures) and Laguna Beach got one day (with a few pictures). I got to go boogie boarding for the first time and had a blast! Levi wasn't as excited because he had done it before, but he still went with me a few times. Even without boogie boards the ocean was awesome! Despite getting pummeled a few times before learning how to dive under the waves, I still spent at least 4 hours frolicking in the perfect-temperature water.

Laguna Beach on a lovely Monday afternoon.

 However, Houghtons never go on vacation and do only one thing! We also played tennis a few times and attempted a few bike rides (Dad and Levi did manage to get in a couple of rides and even tried to drag me through one of them- much to my chagrin. Mom was much more willing.) Of course, we got in some good naps, a March Madness basketball game or two, and even some shopping and food!

On Wednesday, Dad hopped on a plane to go to work and the rest of us packed up the van and headed home. In an effort to teach us some culture, Mom took Levi and I to the J. Paul Getty Museum. It was huge, and we all wished we had more time to explore- it was interesting enough that we even remembered to take some pictures!

Levi and I were tired, but we had a blast anyway!

There were these huge tree structures made of rebar- and I just couldn't help myself, because, to me,
it looked like they were preparing to build a huge, concrete tree!

Like I said, we all had fun, so we all had enough smiles for the camera.

 Although you can't see him in any of the pictures, Dad did come with us and really loved not being bombarded by allergies while we were away- that was probably the highlight of his trip. Anyway- I hope your Spring Break is as great as ours has been!
