The two themes of the trip were The Love Boat and Pirates. Pretty much their cabin was decked out with love boat and pirate decor all week long, making their room the largest fire hazard on the ship. They were even wearing crazy pirate costumes when we picked them up!
Jeremy and I took part in the planning of the trip by designing a treasure hunt for Mom and Dad. We made a map of clues that took them up and down Huntington Beach Main St and Pier.
While they were traipsing around in public wearing pirate costumes and getting weird looks, we sped to the beach to bury the authentic treasure chest filled with fake- and even real- jewels. About fifteen minutes later, two awkward looking pirates came plunking along the sand, ready to dig for their treasure!
Later, we took our parents to a beach in South Laguna called Treasure Island. We explored the tide pools once again, which never gets old. Also during the weekend, we took them to the Getty Museum and the Newport Beach Temple. It was Varrry fun!
