El Capitan Beach and Rose Garden

Today we got to hang out at El Capitan State Beach and go for a beautiful hike! The water was crystal clear and the weather was perfect. Owen is such a great little explorer. He hiked most of the trail, minus a few times we picked him up just get going a little faster : ). We will definitely be camping there next year. Nice to be close to home, yet feel like you are on vacation far away.

After our adventure, we stopped at home to grab a bottle of wine, some snacks (ie. dinner) and a picnic blanket. We headed to the Rose Garden below the Mission to meet The Perkins for our own little outside happy hour with the kids. We had such a nice evening letting Owen and Keira run around while we got to sit back and relax. Owen was making quite a few (girl) friends. He's quite the ladies man. One little girl (Hattie) who was 2 1/2 was not thrilled with being poked at, hugged, kissed, or having her hair pulled, but she tolerated it while Owen treated her like a little doll.
