SLO 2019.

We finally got to take Vivi to San Luis Obispo!  I'd been looking forward to this trip all year, especially since we skipped last year.  And while it wasn't as relaxing as I hoped it would be (kids), it was still a great trip.

The kids did so well in the car.  Like, miraculously well.  Day one was an 11+ hour drive, and they rocked it.  We already knew that Theo would be fine, he's done well on long trips his entire life.  We weren't so sure about how Vivi would do, but she also did amazing.  Didn't even need a screen until the last two hours!  I don't do much public bragging about my children, but I'm always tempted to gush how well they do on road trips, haha.

Theo wanted to go to the beach so badly.  He'd been talking about it for over a week leading up to the trip, so we knew we had to deliver pretty early on in the visit.  We stopped at our favorite spot in Cambria (after picking our our favorite donuts at SloDoCo), and it was not what Theo was expecting.  He was like, "where's the beach?!" and we had to explain that this place just had the rocks and the ocean but we promised beach the next day.


And the end result of our beach day was probably the best that we could have gotten.  He loved the beach and had a complete blast, but was also totally satisfied and did not need to return for the rest of our trip.  Yay!!



I think I might have been most excited to revisit our favorite places to get some video footage for our vacation video.  Our video from 2016's trip to SLO is one of our favorites and probably our most rewatched.

So here is this year's!  Yay for SLO and yay for happy and patient kids in long car rides.
