Now that Christmas is over and James and I can finally breathe we are enjoying this downtime.
James had the rest of Christmas week off so we thought we would make the most of it and take a little trip somewhere. Our first inclination was to find snow, but since southern California has been so dry lately there isn't any real snow to be found within a four hour drive. (tear)
So instead we decided to embrace this warm weather (boo), and take an easy little overnight trip up north to one of our favorite weekend getaways- Cambria.
On the way we had lunch in San Luis Obispo and checked out their mission.
Makes for the perfect little stop to break up our drive.

what's the first thing to do when you find your hotel room?
snuggle and hide! |
 |
| I didn't remember the fog catcher having a pool- much less jacuzzi (tear) so I got to sit back and take photos of these cuties instead |

so our weekend consisted of lots of beach walks/explorations, swimming in the pool and jacuzzi, yummy meals out and a fun movie night in front of the fireplace with popcorn. The kids loved it cause it was like a real sleepover to them- it was definitely harder than we expected to get them to go to sleep though-
the crazy monkeys.
