We made our second annual trip to California to visit the beach. This year we chose Solana Beach as our home away from home, and we are loving it!
We arrived in Solana Beach mid-afternoon on Saturday, July 3rd. It was easy to settle into our gorgeous beach house overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Once we unpacked, we headed out for a bite to eat at a local pizzeria. We came home to enjoy a gorgeous sunset right from our back patio.
Yesterday, we walked down to the beach. Our house is just a short walk to the city staircase that leads to a private beach. It was the perfect spot to set up our umbrellas and towels and relax for a bit. We walked along the shoreline and were excited to spot our beach house perched atop the bluff.
After spending some time at the beach, and a nice long nap, we all walked over to the Del mar fairgrounds where we watched the 4th of July fireworks from the beach across the street. Madelyn was really excited to see all the fireworks in the distance. She jumped up and down over the pink! pink! pink! fireworks.
By the time the Del Mar fireworks began, which were literally right over our heads, she was definitely not as enthusiastic. She thought they were way too loud, and decided it would be better to just go home. Fortunately, Daddy persuaded her to cuddle in his arms so we could continue to watch the beautiful display. Poor little girl. She spent the rest of the show covering her ears, huddled in Daddy's arms. I notice her peeking from time to time, however. She just couldn't resist the colorful display in the sky.
