Givens Family Staycation Part II

Day 3 - Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

Day 3 of our staycation brought us back south, into Santa Cruz! We always make the excuse that it's too far of a drive to visit on the weekend, but I think we got there in less than an hour so we really need to go more often! This was probably my favorite part of the entire staycation!

Arriving at the Boardwalk, double stroller in tow.
Couldn't have asked for better weather!
Hailey agreed
We may quite literally be outgrowing these family selfies pretty soon
That wind blown, elusive look. aka can't see a thing looking into the sun
Sand time with Dad
These two...

My turn!


He makes that Ergo look good.
Merry Go Round!
Her cheese face kills me 
Don't worry Harper, we see you too!
hiiiiii 
Dad, you're gonna win me something right???
And she shall call him squishy and he will be hers.
Such sass
Classic.
You get this one mommy!
Face Painting Time!
Happy Kiddo

Seriously, she doesn't get happier than this.
Dad, helping Hailey Go Fishin'

After numerous failed attempts, Dad's gotta take matters into his own hands
Does this shot ever get old?
 AAAAAAND break for a Harper stroller photo shoot...



 AAAAND we now return you to your regularly scheduled programming...

Time for Rides!
Boatin'
Well at least one of us is excited...
Happy Family Photo at the end of an EPIC day!
Car ride home...
Also, thanks to the magic of Google, we made a pretty great video of our day from the photos and video we shot... Looks a little something like this"



Day 4 - Miur Woods

And for our Final day of Staycation, we made the trek up north to Muir Woods, where I've never been! With our hiking backpacks in tow, we got our hike on :)


 First stop: Some Hipster coffee place in SF for caffeine and food.



Not sure if that cookie is big enough...

Next stop... vista point for epic blow out
There are worse places to have to clean a poopy infant I guess...
Finally made it!
Ready to go!
Still cheesin' it up

Family Hiking Selfy!
We let her hike a little bit too
Burned too many calories, time for a snack and back in the backpack


HiHO hiHO it's off to hike we go!
This may have been the funniest thing ever. Hailey trying to drink from the water fountain. In Dad's backpack.
Givens Totem Pole!
My little City Girl was over it I guess...
Fell asleep in action
This is the damage that came out of my car by the end of all our Trips. Yowzahs
And one last fun video summing up our last day:


Givens Family Staycation SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
