Hello beach...

This past weekend Ryan and I went to California for a friend's wedding: Big Joe and Michelle.

We got in Thursday night and went to dinner at a yummy little Italian restaurant. We stopped by Big Joe's house afterwards to say hi to all of the friends that were there. They were all very excited to meet Van for the first time.

On Friday we went to Fashion Island and did a little shopping...

Cutest face...

Then we went to the beach for the very first time with Van.

We watched daddy surf...

We took naps on the sand... notice the arms outstretched, please.

Did some dolphin watching... which we saw!

We went back to the hotel and Van fell asleep on the bed. He had a long, hard day in the sun!

The outstretched arms, again. So funny!

Then we watched the sunset before going out to dinner with Ryan's old roommate, Wes, and his girlfriend, Sara. It was a fun filled day!
