Because Grandma Said So: Mother's Day in Carlsbad

This Mother’s Day weekend we went to Carlsbad, CA to enjoy the beach before the summer AZ heats sets in. Granny Annie came with us too! We drove over on Thursday night. On Friday we went shopping at the outlets and then went to the strawberry fields to pick strawberries. Abby had fun picking strawberries….and we all had fun eating them along the way! Then we went to the beach in the afternoon. It was Savannah’s first trip to the beach. Granny had bought her a new bathing suit and she was ready to go. Of course she spent most of her time at the beach napping, but got to feel the water a little. It was a little too cold for her. The weather was perfect. The beach we went to on Friday was not so perfect. Turns out there was oil on the sand. It looked washed up from the water. Not fun when we all stepped in it. Luckily we figured out that if we took a baby wipe and rubbed at it…for a loooooong time it came off. Glad we had lots of baby wipes around. On Saturday we went back to the beach. The weather again was amazing. We went to a different part of the beach in Carlsbad and there was no oil so that was good. Sunday we drove home! It was a very fun and relaxing Mother’s Day!!!
