August 17th- Let the fun begin!
We always have a blast at Del Mar for the Hoer reunions, it is filled with old traditions and hopefully new traditions (jet skiing and paddle boarding). The first full day we had there we went on the traditional bike ride around Coronado island. Lucas and I were in a duce-coup, which after getting out on the road we remembered that last year we said we would never rent it again because of how hard it is to peddle! But of course it was still fun! Lucy and Jac were in a duce-coup, and mom and dad were on a tandem bike (the smart people). It was a lot of fun! After riding around the island we went to the beach. Cody met up with us at the beach after riding bikes.
Today was filled with boogie boarding, surfing, volleyball and just having fun in the sun (except for Lucas and I because we got burned while riding bikes, we were decked out in rash guards).
August 19th- Mission Bay Baby!
We spent the day out at mission bay, which was a blast! We went to lunch at Luigi's, which is a delicious pizza place. Then mom and dad went on a bike tandem bike ride while the kids went jet skiing! I have never been jet skiing in a salt water bay, it was so much fun but I admit my face was very very salty after! The fun didn't stop after that because then we went paddle boarding. The common saying with the paddle boards was "permission to come aboard". That saying all started when one of the boys (I think the twins) said "permission to come aboard" and then jumped on his paddle board without waiting for a response, bringing them both down! After that the game started which evolved into us trying to knock each other off our boards. We had a hard time trying to get Cody off of his board but we were finally successful. After paddle boarding everyone except Cody, Lucas and I went sailing. There was a 6 person sailboat (significantly cheaper) and an 8 person sailboat. Lucas and I didn't really want to sail and Cody wanted to look for a bike so we sat out and they got the 6 person one. It was fun relaxing on the shore and watching them sail around. To top off an amazing day we ate at Phil's BBQ after.
August 20th- Let the Races Begin!
On the last full day for everyone (last half day for Lucas and I) we went to the Del Mar horse races. Considering the tickets were fairly cheap and the condo is right next to the race track I am surprised we haven't been to a horse race yet. Cody bought 5 different tickets on 5 different horses and gave everyone a ticket to make the race more interesting and competitive among the family and boy was it fun! Lucas and I sadly had to leave early from the horse races to get home by a reasonable time but it was a very eventful and relaxing trip with people I love!
