weekend getaway

Last weekend we hung out with our friends Megan and Dirk at their timeshare in Oceanside. Here's the view from their hotel room overlooking the pier. We had lots of fun playing with their kids and then stayed up really late talking and planning road trips (Jason's current obsession. He asks to go on a road trip at least twice a week).
I can't believe I didn't take a group picture, but here's some fun ones waiting for our food at Johnny MaƱana's.
Emily is learning how to wink ever since Elmo did a segment about winking on Sesame Street.
She also LOVES playing hide-and-seek. Her favorite hiding place is in my closet. THE BEST QUESADILLA I'VE EVER TASTED!
This guacamole quesadilla redefined Mexican food for me. It was quite a sensory experience.
Before we headed home we took Emily for a walk down the pier.
I was so proud that she kept her hat on! Halfway through our walk we spotted two teenage girls who had jumped off the pier and were swimming to shore. Where the police were waiting.
There were tons of people fishing off the edges of the pier. Emily even tried to pick up some freshly-caught fish that were flopping around on deck.
It was the perfect weekend away!

Oh, oh, oh! That makes me so homesick! Rex and I used to go there every Sunday to watch the sunset. I miss Oceanside/Carlsbad!
