Doin' the Time Warp...

We had another glorious stay at the beach cottages, this time at the Painters' Cottage, just as we had last month for an evening. Our other two stays last year had been in the Long Board Lodge, which we also love - but it was soooo nice to be 20 paces or so from the actual sand, as opposed to dealing with the brief but sometimes annoying stair hike from the Long Board. As Douglas, a friend of Elliott's parents, said when he stayed over one evening at the cottage: "It's like a time warp." Too true, too true! The boys love any cottage stay and this time was no exception! You just have to love living in Southern California when you can hang out on a beach, and with the exception of just a few other people, be the only ones there! So choice!

Thank you for the peak at the famous Painters' Cottage. We'll have to experience it for ourselves one of these days.

Holly- it looks fantastic. Your post reminds me that I better try again next month on the 1st.

Holly- i found you through Matt and Katie's blog...where is this that you guys stayed?

Holly said...

Hi Jennifer! Congrats on baby Elisabeth! It's the Crystal Cove Beach Cottages - they are FABULOUS! You have to reserve them 6 months in advance (on the 1st of every month) through Reserve America (just google Crystal Cove Beach Cottages and then from their website you can get to the reservation area.) We love spending time there and have been very fortunate as to have gone multiple times. Let me know if you're able to get something!!! :)

We are so bummed that we weren't able to come at the first of March, but we're really hoping to do that some time in the future! It looks wonderful!!! Thanks for the view!

Thanks for that great tour Elliott! That looks like so much fun. We really want to do that some time. How nice to be so close the beach this time. We were wondering if the 4th of July weekend would be a good time to come and visit? Just let us know. Love to you all!

How wonderful! For some reason, I thought your "Whine and Poop" post was your most recent, which is why I mentioned to you on the phone that it was time for another one! Then I realized that I wanted to try and see this video on a different computer because our sound isn't working. That's why I didn't comment. :)Anyway, thanks again for the phone call today - that meant a lot!

I love the family picture! It's great! Joseph looks a little concerned, though.

Holly said...

Yeah, Joseph's expression is classic in contrast to ours - kind of like, "What have I gotten myself into with this family?!" It was fun, though!

Holly thanks for your comments on our blog. Did you do the austen heroine quiz yet? I also love Jane austen and p&p is also my favorite! I love your family picture by the way!
