Summer trip to Coronado!

We decided it was time to get William to the ocean so we booked a trip a couple months ago to visit our favorite beach in California – Coronado. The island is absolutely beautiful and the array of native trees growing everywhere is amazing! I wish I would have taken pictures of them all! We had a wonderful time and the boys had a blast, of course. =) The weather was no hotter than 85 degrees which is obviously a huge change from the 106 degrees we drove back to. The good news is that monsoon season is here and we got a little rain today. Hooray! Hope all is well with everyone and you’re enjoying your summer wherever you are. Love ya’s!

Driving past the red sands right after the border. This place is so cool and vast.

Got there around 3pm and took the kids to the inlet and chased birds! It was hilarious!
