Vacationing

Leanne and Jaclyn are out of school until Tuesday 

so Thursday afternoon we packed them up

 Napping

and headed for Cambria. 

The house we rented is a couple of blocks from the ocean, with an outdoor balcony the girls love.

Although it’s 2-story, 2-bed, 2-bath, it’s small-ish.

 
But the quirks make up for that.

 Inside the magic closet 

Among them, the master bedroom’s ladder to nowhere 

and the Harry Potter-ish closet under the stairs. 

 Cozy living room.

The girls are enchanted. 

So far today, Pop and the girls hiked along the ocean;

 Jac’s pink pumpkin treasure

we all had lunch at Linn’s (pie! Yummmmm);

checked for elephant seals (none) and zebras (spotted in the distance);

made art, read books, watched movies,

and went shopping. 

And the girl’s favorite thing so far? 

The *squeezed* pumpkin pies this guy was making as part of the scarecrow festival.

Gross! But funny!
