With the Brackenburys expecting twins, we knew that their trip to Long Beach would be the only chance until the kids go off to college to catch them on the west coast. So we found a beach house on VRBO, rented a minivan, and made a week of it (combining the trip with a visit to Eunice's grandparents in Monterey Park).
We learned that when you have 3 under 3, there's a world of difference between 3 blocks to the beach and beachfront... treking down to the beach felt like planning Normandy. But the beach was beautiful, and the kids loved it... memories include beers on the deck, watching sunset from the cliffs, BBQing in the alleyway, a night out to a local Italian place (where we spent half the time walking the kids around the block to watch the boats), and lots of time in what was truly a fabulous house.
