the opeka's: Happy 30th Ryan!

For Ryan's 30th Birthday Henry and I surprised him with a camping trip at the beach. When we got married we registered for all sorts of camping gear and still hadn't used it. Ryan has been asking when can we go. So Henry decided it was about time. On Tuesday the 13th we packed up the car and headed to the beach. It was a really fun time. Messy, smokey and very busy with Henry but it was fun.

Ryan got to surf a couple times each day. Each night we opened a really good bottle of wine to enjoy. We had a few visitors to drink with on each night. It was fun. Ryan keeps trying to reassure me that it will get easier once Henry is really good at walking. But Henry did pretty good considering. All he wanted to do the whole trip was walk up and down the camp site with his little truck.

We made breakfast and dinner there each night. We ate lunch at Bull Taco and Seaside Market. We went to VG's for donuts one afternoon. We walked into Encinitas and did some shopping. We rode our bikes around the camp site and took the dogs on about a million potty breaks. We went down to the beach two days in a row and let Hank go bonkers in the sand. And of course first thing he did was put sand in the mouth. The second day I didn't being my camera down and of course it was the best. He was fully clothed covered in sand and having a blast.

Happy Birthday to my loving husband. Hope you had a great birthday, low key and not a lot of fuss.

Just the way you prefer.
