Waking up by the ocean

When we got there on Saturday it was late and we were exhausted so we weren't able to appreciate our location until Sunday morning. Rich and I woke up to a beautiful view of the ocean. My parents have a time share in Oceanside and this time they got the Presidential Suite on the 7th floor, so we had a great view. We also had a great place to stay. There were 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, kitchen, and living space. It was wonderful and great that Ava had her own room. We also loved our roomy shower and jacuzzi tub. After staying in this suite it will be hard to stay in a normal hotel again...thanks mom and dad for an awesome week.

This was the view I had every morning (picture taken while in bed).

Since our fist day on vacation was Sunday we got ready for church. We found the local ward on the internet and attended sacrament meeting at 11am. It was a beautiful brick building surrounded by Birds of Paradise.

After church we just relaxed at the condo and enjoyed being together. My parents brought some food so we didn't have to go out. We enjoyed Boursin cheese & pretzels (my favorite snack), chili baked potatoes, and hamburgers. That evening we played Italian cards and watched the beautiful sunset. It was the perfect Sunday: Church, beautiful views, good food, and relaxing with family.
