Coronado Staycation

There are new(er) beach cottages on Coronado that we called about awhile ago and they were all booked up (you can only reserve 3 months ahead of time).  I decided to call back the week prior to Thanksgiving to see if any had opened up since Dave was off all week and sure enough, there was one that had a few nights available.  At first we booked for two nights but after thinking about it, changed it to one.  We haven't had the best luck with sleepers in places other than our own house so decided to just try it for one night in case it was awful...and, after our first night, we are SO glad we only stayed for 1!

We arrived around noon on Monday to an absolutely beautiful day!  About 80 degrees (in November) and not a cloud in the sky.

They played on the beach for soooooo long in the morning.  It was a bit chilly in the morning but then heated up quickly.  

So much beach!

View of the our cottage from the beach.  There are two cottages per building. 

It got chilly once the sun was setting but nothing that a sweater and hat couldn't take care of.  The kids played SO well in the sand all afternoon/evening. 

View from our front door of the cottage.  Not bad :)

The cottage had 2 bedrooms.  This bedroom had 2 twin size beds so we decided to push the beds against the wall and put the mattresses on the floor to make one giant bed for the kids.  Cole went to bed first followed by Sydney.  Both kiddos were asleep by 7 p.m. so Dave and I thought we were in the clear and were talking about staying another night :)  Cole woke up in the middle of the night and realized he wasn't in a crib and could get anywhere!  After a few rolls over Sydney, drinking her water and walking all over the bed, we realized it was going to be a long night!!

Sydney and Cole's friend Luke is always carrying around his green froggie.  Sydney found her green frog that Ms. Pamela gave her so she is now sleeping with it, just like Luke does (she wanted to take it everywhere we go but I said no to that...)  Of course Froggie had to come with us to Coronado as well...and Sydney asked to have her picture taken with him in the morning.  This girl!

I went for a run in the morning and this was the view of downtown.  So pretty!

We will be back to the cottages... may wait another year or so until Cole is a bit older so we are more rested in the morning but the location can't be beat!
