We started off our vacation by dropping Allie off with my mom for her first overnight stay. We then headed downtown for some dinner and the Dream Girls Broadway show. It was great. The singing was amazing. but what's funny is that we liked a sub character even more then Effie the main character. We then headed to The Governor Hotel. It is this really cool hotel built in 1909. Then the morning was spent sleeping in! getting coffee, reading in bed and then Matt and I went out to a great breakfast at a place downtown that has pancakes bigger then your head! Their awesome. We then went and got Allie from my parents and we headed to the beach. Allie did great on her over night and had a ton of fun with my parents. It was so nice to have a night to ourselves and do something other then go to a movie. and my fav part was waking up, getting coffee and reading, in other words doing whatever I wanted in the morning!

On the way to the beach we passed our friends The Roths on the freeway. Mike being Mike almost ran us off the road trying to get our attention. We thought it was just some drunk guy on the road. :) We then ran into them on the beach later that day. That was a fun surprise.

On Friday Allie got her real taste of playing in the sand. I bought her some new toys and she loved them! but every time she got sand on her pants she would stop and say UhOh!

Good weather that day but super windy so it was cold.

More to come tomorrow!
