Spring Break




We had a friend come to visit for Easter weekend, so the kids and I started our spring break a day early. (John was already on spring break.) On Friday we showed Ethan, my good friend since middle school, Kirsten's son, around Torrance. We went down to the beach, walked to the Redondo Beach pier, ate at Steve's and checked out the local liquor store for Takis. Saturday saw us stopping by Busy Bee in San Pedro to pick up sandwiches before heading down to the tide pools at White's Point. John pointed out the ocean life to Lauren and Ethan while I enjoyed the sun. Easter Sunday was a fun one. We fell into an old tradition from when the kids were younger, and went to Knott's Berry Farm. That evening, we let Ethan and Lauren take the car and check out the sunset at the beach. They brought back milkshakes from Foster's Freeze to top off our wonderful bbq dinner. Ethan went home on Monday and I found that I was sooo tired. I feel like we put a whole week's worth of activities into 3 days. We took Monday pretty easy. Tuesday, we were off and running again. Lauren is asking for a trip to Laguna today, I will let you know how that goes.
