When we have a few days off school, we often sneak away to a local town just to get some rest as a family. We are grateful to live so close to so many beach towns. While we’ve visited almost every one of the towns up and down the Pacific Coast Highway, Pismo Beach is likely at the top of our favorites list. We love that it’s always Southern California weather. It’s right by the beach and it can be a bit grimy. Too prim and proper is not for us.
On this particular vacation, the kids spent most of their time building things out of sand, so Jake and I wanted to setup our little beach tent so we could be in the shade. What we didn’t know was that this tent requires multiple PhD’s to setup. I only wish I were joking. After two hours, much yelling and even more yelling, we finally were able to put it together. And it was lovely once we did.
But I don’t think we will ever be able to go to the beach again because I don’t think we could ever repeat it.
I hope someone can make a beach tent that doesn’t require an advanced degree to setup.
