Spring Break: Day Six

This was the last day of being on Coronado. It was super sad but we wanted to make the most of it. We actually were not on the island for the first half of the day because we drove down to Mission Beach so we could skate and eat lunch.

 My mom and Beau had to just walk around for a while. When we had skated north and south of the beach, we went to a couple of the board shops. One was called Hamels, and it was very old. My dad said that he would go there all the time. The next one had a lot more room and it was pretty new.

 It had a lot more space inside, and had some really good boards. Not only that, but they actually had my dad's brothers first board. The EXACT same one. When both of them were about 16 my dad got a
Uncles board is second in!
board that had the British flag and my uncle got one with the Japanese flag. Now that I have seen the Japan one, I can say they both look really cool!

 Once we finished looking at those, we headed out to go have lunch. My mom and dad had this idea that we could go to the original Rubios, but when we showed up it didn't look right. We found out that it wasn't the original, and my dad just tried to convince all of us that they must have switched buildings or something.

 So after I got my drink and some waters, I walked outside where my dad was talking to the waiter. I only had to hear the last two lines to know that the original is still running, but by that time we had already ordered.

 So then my mom tried to convince us that this was better because it had more space, and we just had to settle on that idea. When we finished, my parents wanted to drive past the original anyways, but guess what? They still couldn't find it. At that point we just gave up and went back to Coronado.

 At night we were going to go get ice cream after dinner but we were not going to have time, so we thought we could go get it now and then we would go on the beach. We got Collin a sorbet at a frozen yogurt store because he cannot have dairy, and then my mom and I went into this ice cream store called Mootime. It was really good ice cream, but my mom was just mad that they did not have pistachio.

 She seemed to have a problem with a lot of these stores! (see what she did to a smashball guy on Day 4!) So then we went down to the beach and played catch and all of that stuff. Then when we were about to leave something insane happened. Collin started yelling and sprinted straight into the ocean!!!!!!

 Hewould NOT get out and he had his crocs on so my dad and I had to go in and get his shoes off. We didn't care about getting him out if he wanted to stay in, but about FIFTEEN minutes passed and we were all pretty much soaked. And it got worse. When I wasn't looking, a big wave hit me from behind and I fell over.

It was bad. We finally got him out and we went to the jacuzzi as fast as we could. It felt like it was 200 degrees and I had to jump into the regular pool first. When we got warmed up after a while, we drove down to the dog beach where my mom would play with Beau so he could get one more day of exercise.

 Meanwhile, I skated with my dad and brother up and down the sidewalks until we were ready to go. Then we got back, ate, and watched a movie to end our trip.

 So thanks for reading guys and find out what the departure day is like tomorrow on TBB! I hoped you have enjoyed this Spring break series! (Click here to read Day 7).
