Last weekend we packed up the kiddos for a fun-filled weekend at the coast with my parents. I LOVE that living in Central California allows for easy trips to many places in California. It takes less than 3 hours to get to the beach, and it is such an easy drive. Pismo Beach, CA is the main spot for central californians to spend time at the beach. We has to run a quick errand before we left and got to see lots of pumpkins. Chloe was just barely one at Halloween last year so I am excited to have her really experience it this year.
We made it to the coast around dinner time, just in time to hang out on the deck and do some whale watching. After dinner, it was time for trains, of course!
Saturday morning we went over to the Home Depot in SLO for the Kids Workshop. See more here.
My parents' beach house has this cute park with a lot of green space nearby. We spent time there on Saturday and Sunday.
After lunch, we made our way to the Beach. It was very windy, but the kids LOVED it and spent about 2 hours playing in the waves.
My dad is FAMOUS for his sand castles and he is passing his love for it on to the little ones.
Just down the shore from us was A TON of kitesurfers.
The view from my parents' deck- LOVE IT!
We found another park near their house, Chumash Park. It has 2 great play structures, swings, a basketball court, walking trails and more!
My dad loves a good playground, too!
We also made a visit to the San Luis Obispo Children's Museum. Don't little ones just LOVE hands-on activities. This place has it all- Dinosaurs, Trains, Magnets, Fish, Costumes, Outdoor Play, Legos, and SO MUCH MORE!
This table had the coolest sand- very similar to cloud sand- that could be moved and stacked and the overhead projector showed the topography of what you did with the sand.
Some outdoor fun....

The 3rd floor at the Children's Museum is just for kids ages 4 and under and had a ton of trains to play with.
And there was a HUGE train the kids could get in and play with.
The front of the train had two xylophones.
My dad made this cute sign before we left.
We had such a great time at the coast. Looking forward to our next trip, hopefully it is soon!
