Coastal Chronicles: The Levine Family's Oceanside Adventure Begins

Greetings from the sunny stretches of Oceanside, California! The Levine family has embarked on a vacation filled with sun, sea, and the simple joys of family time. Our first few days here have been the epitome of  discovery for the youngest of the Levines.

Asterius, has claimed the backyard of our quaint Airbnb as his personal safari zone. Armed with blunt-tipped magnetic darts and a colorful beach ball, he gallivants around the pool on a whimsical hunt for Heffalumps (the imaginary elephant-like character from the Winnie-the-Pooh stories). Watching him in his element, strategizing and launching his "hunting weapons" with glee, is a sight to behold.

At the iconic Oceanside Pier, where history and the horizon meet, Caelum, snug in his stroller, reveled in the tactile odyssey over the old, uneven wooden boards. His eyes followed the seagulls' flight patterns, and his giggles mingled with the ocean breeze as passersby stopped to admire his contagious joy.

As the day waned into the golden hour, Asterius experienced the Pacific Ocean for the very first time. With Dadda by his side, he tentatively touched the cool, foam-frothed waters, the sunset painting memories on the canvas of his young mind.

A short drive brought us to Encinitas, where family ties were strengthened with Gigi's warm embrace. The delight in her eyes upon meeting Caelum for the first time was matched only by his wide smiles and hearty laughter, echoing the bond that spans generations.

Our stay in Oceanside is just beginning, but the moments we’ve collected already shine brightly like the treasures they are. Stay tuned as the Levine family continues to soak in the coastal charm and create memories that will last a lifetime!
