Memorial Day Weekend 2020

These holiday weekends are so interesting while you are in quarantine.  As we remember the sacrifice of those who gave their lives for our country and our freedom, we usually get to to that with people that we love, sharing meals together and just enjoying our friends and family.  It is different, but we are determined onjj making memories regardless...
On Saturday, we took a bike ride around the Back Bay...
 Taking a snack break at the Newport Dunes!
 Afterward, we had a treat of fun drinks at Sonic...
 Strawberry limeade for the win!
That night, we had some fun baking pretzels for the first time...
 They might not have looked like the prettiest pretzels:
 We did salt, everything bagel seasoning, and cinnamon and sugar...
 And kit made a cheese dipping sauce...
 They tasted SO good!
 Also, Kit replenished our bread supply.  
They are just amazing!
On Sunday after live streaming church, we went to have some social distancing with family in Redlands:
Swimming and pizza were the chosen activities...
On Monday, we got up early and headed out to the beach to explore...
But first doughnuts...
Then we headed down to Crystal Cove:
 We love this tunnel...
We went tide pooling and had THE BEST TIME!
The tide was so low and we saw so many creatures... 
Then we headed to Castaways Park to see the memorial flags:
Our hearts are incredibly grateful that we had these moments to remember and honor those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for this life that my family and I get to live...
It was such a great day together as we look forward to summer and head into our last official week of school!
