Food we ate, Chapter 11.
We’ve been to California and now are back home again. Are you traveling for Spring Break? I’d love to hear about places you love, especially cooler places that would be a break from the Houston heat come August.
Spring Break 2024, letssss gooooo.
We had a string of great weather and beached every day.
Nothing beats that “freshly showered after being at the beach” feeling.
The cousins lived it up.
Leah screamed, a lot. It was exhausting. Ready for her to have more words!
Andrew made these oven-roasted parmesan carrots with balsamic glaze that were incredible. Everyone agreed. Well, not the kids, but let’s not be ridiculous lol.
I had plenty of margaritas made by Andrew thankyouverymuch.
All breakfasts were pastries + lattes (me) / hot chocolates (kids).
After bopping around town, we’d come back home for an eggy brunch.
Ella shared some of her candy store haul with me. The best skittles flavor.
The whole bunch.
Cousins.
My girls<3 I got them to take this photo, and not rebel, by telling them I was trying to see who was the tallest.
My beautiful baby <3
Me and Jojo accidentally twinning!
THE KIDS DID NOT STOP MOVING ALL DAY LONG.
Gelato afternoons.
Best meal I had – enchiladas divorciadas – on a date night with Andrew. Thanks to Poobah and Gramz for watching the kids.
One morning I climbed over and out our balcony so I could go have breakfast alone without kid noise and unjangle my nervous system. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
More beach.
Calamari.
Chicken nuggets + fries for kids.
Seared tuna bowls for adults.
Blue cheese burgers one night – a favorite.
And that’s a wrap on Laguna 2024. The travel days were roughhhh with a 3 hour delay on the way home and I kept thinking, “this is too much”, but the days in between were really wonderful – worth it! Until next year!
I loved loved seeing these pictures!!! Especially the height contest – LOL, so sweet. I could imagine a flight delay on the way home just was entirely defeating, glad the mems from the trip made it all worth it. Always look forward to reading the blog on the weekends :)
Thanks, Caroline!
What an incredible vacation! So awesome that the whole family & cousins get to hang out together! I loved all the pics, especially seeing your entire family. Your girls are all SO CUTE!!!! And that Andrew…what a husband! Loved this!
It was special that everyone got to make it this year!
So fun to see your girls’ lovely faces. They look just like you! I love that your family makes this trip every year, what special memories you are creating. Traveling with kids is HARD, but (mostly) worth it. 😉
Thanks for reading, Kendra <3
Beautiful pictures! It looks like you had such a a sunny, happy trip! Maine is a great place to be in August! The food in the Portland area is amazing and there’s the ocean, lakes, and mountains.
Maine has been calling to me. I’ve only been once and I really loved it.
It’s lovely to see your girls beautiful faces again. I hope you blog about life more often & it’s not necessarily food related because I always found you to be so refreshingly upfront and honest x.
I’m finding my footing and voice again and I hope I find ways to blog more about life again soon. Thanks for reading and commenting <3
