Where the ocean meets the vines.
In May of 2008, we headed to Avila Beach for the first time. Gaga and the 3 boys piled into the mini-van for an adventure to celebrate Jeff and Kasey Hillier getting married. While Bryan and I attended to the wedding festivities, Gaga and the boys hung out at Avila Lighthouse Suites. That weekend, we felt so honored to be a part of such a special wedding and it was then that we all fell in love with Avila Beach.
Right next to the resort is a park with a playground and basketball hoops. This provides hours of fun. The playground has a pirate ship and there are large swings right on the beach by the playground. At the beach, the kids play for hours. They boogie board, make sand balls, or build sand castles. Because our kids are varying in ages, all the activities make sure everyone feels like they have something to do.
The highlight of the trip is the Friday night Farmer's Market. All the booths offer amazing food, the locals come out, and there is usually a band. Usually, Bryan and I go out after the Farmer's Market to Rick's, where the band from the market will play into the night.
Since 2008, we have gone back to Avila every year except 2013. This year, Jackson requested that we go back to Avila for his 12th birthday. We brought his friend, Luke, and made some more memories. Here is a mini movie of our Avila trip. I think once you see the movie, you might see why we love this place so much.
