Day Five: Oceanside

 Nick's Birthday!
Wednesday was a cloudy, rainy day, and we enjoyed doing not much at all that morning.  We got dressed and drove up the coast to Oceanside, where we had vacationed a year ago.
 We walked along the pier: 


 This guy had a bag of fish that he was offering to kids to feed the pelican.  Most of the kids wanted nothing to do with it, but not my Maren.  She wanted a go.

 We went and played at the playground on the sand for a bit:

 And then we had fish 'n chips on the Harbor, Nick's birthday request:
 And then the rain came pouring down.  On our drive home, we stopped at a Farmer's Market:
We were just a bit wet.  Didn't stop us though.
That evening my sis sent us out on a date while she watched the kids.  We found a Mexican restaurant we wanted to try online, only to discover that they were kind of a take-out kind of place.  We didn't want to go searching, so we waited for our food (a popular place with a wait of at least 30 minutes), picked up utensils at the condo, and then ate in the car with a crying Daisy in the backseat.  So romantic.

We had strawberry shortcake and sang Happy Birthday to Nick.

Lainey loved her big cousin and was her little tag-along:
