My brother AJ got to come out to Cali from Nashville for his birthday, so he and my parents drove down yesterday to spend the day with us. Since the kids have been bouncing off the walls lately (thank goodness school started today, or mommy might have checked herself into the looney bin), it was perfect timing for them to come! The day was a beautiful 80 degrees and the beaches at Tamarack were not crowded. We picked up some sammies at Vons and headed on down...we're only .97 miles from the beach, you know...
The day couldn't have been more relaxing. The kids frolicked in the water with Uncle AJ, (Dane even had a good wipe out on his boogie board!) grandma and grandpa napped, read books, took pictures...it was nothing short of bliss. Alana even took a short nap so mommy could go and play with the boys a bit!
After a few hours at the beach, we headed back to the house to clean up and let the kids rest. We decided to head to one of our favorite family restaurants in Oceanside called Dominic's. It's such a fun little Italian place on the harbor and it's great for kids! Noisy? A bit...but a perfect place to end the visit. Wine, pizza, pasta, family...it doesn't get any better. I wish everyone could've been there, but alas...
AJ, thank you for spending your big day with us! Hope you enjoyed yourself thoroughly and made memories you can take with you to Nashville and hold close to your heart. We love you and Happy 25th Birthday!
(Thanks again to dad for the pics, and to the drunk guy outside of the restaurant who took our group shot!)

| Mike and I don't remember the last time we saw Ryan eat as much as he did this night. It was awesome! |
 |
| Such a great pic of grandpa and grandma. Thanks, Mikey:) |

| The kids aren't sure about the drunk guy taking our pic, but the adults are definitely having a good laugh about it! |

| My Asian friends approved my dad's caption, so we're all good. |
