Yey for TGIF on Catalina Island! Yesterday we spent a gorgeous day just chillaxing with the family on the island, soaking in the sunshine and playing at the beach! Even Baby Jax joined in on the fun! (can you see my growing belly in the above picture? He wants everyone to notice him now!)
All Aboard the Catalina Flyer!! Dada and Taji get ready to sail the sea.....
The ride over was very rocky for some reason, we had to down a few ginger chews. Taji didn't mind the rocking, it actually made him very sleepy......
We made it! Hello Avalon, my how beautiful our greeting was with the signt of the island! I remember the days I used to spend here as a high schooler 3 Spring Breaks in row with just my friends, we had so much fun!
The famous Casino.....
We grabbed lunch at the Descanso Beach Club, indulging in some Buffalo Milk (Catalina's signature alcoholic drink) and a mango/ pina colada virgin Daquiri (for me of course). Taji loved sharing the guacamole and chips. We grooved to the reggea music and played frisbee in the grass.
Then we headed back to town for some beach and water play......
They are not kidding when they talk about "Island Time." Our's seemed to slip through our fingertips, before we knew it, it was time to board the boat again and head back home for the evening. We could have easily stayed the weekend and extended our leisure time, Catalina is such a special little place (especially when its warm and sunny!) Guess we will just have to come back for a longer stay next time (and with 2 little boys in tow)!
