We took a trip out to Coronado Island last week, and it was heavenly. What started out as a last-minute weekend trip idea turned into almost a full week on the island with some of Mike's family. We loved every minute we were there. Eli spent the three week's before counting down the days until we went. All three kids loved being at the beach and are begging to go back. I'm begging too, since we got back and it's 108 degrees outside! HOT!

| He's still so little and sweet, and he would pass out at the hotel every evening as we got cleaned up for dinner. Play hard. Sleep hard. |
