After our Harrison Sister's Weekend two years ago, one of the sisters mentioned having the next one at a beach house. So naturally I volunteered to organize! I found a cute little beach house in Oxnard that was half a block from the beach and just perfect. Mom, Renee and I drove to Vegas and spent the night with Kim, then got up early the next morning and drove the rest of the way to the beach! We made a quick stop in LA for lunch at Portos, which was AMAZING!
The food was delicious, including the free dessert that I got after the guy behind the counter gave me a "sample." There was a minor falling-out-of-a-chair-while-taking-a-selfie incident, but that just made the experience so much better! I was nervous to get to the beach house, but it turned out to be adorable and plenty of space for all of us! We took a quick stroll on the beach
Then grabbed dinner at Hook Burger after Jamie, Tracy, the Leapers, and Brookie showed up.
We did a little FaceTiming,
Then stayed up WAY too late talking. The next morning, we did some exploring, grocery shopping, and breakfast burrito making.
By the afternoon, I was DYING to get to the beach, so I got myself ready and yelled at everyone else to do the same, then finally got out on the sand.
It was perfect. Three hours of nothing but lying in the warm sun. This is my heaven.
After we all got cleaned up, we went out for a little shopping trip... but only ever made it to Nordstrom Rack. For two and a half hours. I finally herded all the sisters out of the dressing rooms and across the parking lot to Blaze, where I introduced them to my new favorite pizza. And lucky me, Mom and Dad even came up from Camarillo to see us all!!!
We ended the night with a trip to Walmart, Tillamook ice cream stirs, and The Devil Wears Prada, again staying up WAY too late. Then we packed everyone up the next morning and headed home! It was such a quick weekend, and I loved every minute of it. I usually leave vacations even more exhausted then when I came, but this time I really felt uplifted and rejuvenated. I love my sisters so much and the whole weekend was just wonderful!!!
I love my sisters!!!!!
