Summer Vacation Part 5 (Avila Beach).

 Avila Beach is a super awesome beach town nestled between Pismo and San Luis Obispo.  It turned out to be one of our favorites.  There are a few not so well known things about Avila Beach.  When we lived there, it was completely flattened, meaning all of the buildings had been removed to remediate an oil spill.  To walk through Avila Beach today, one would never know.  It is thriving.  I put an article hear that talks about it:  Avila Beach Oil Spill

Another crazy thing that happened while we were there, was a Fatal Shark Attack occurred.  Kevin actually knew the lady that died in the attack.  It stunned the locals.  

The girl's had this dream of wearing beautiful, flowy dresses and running into the ocean.  In anticipation of these, they each bought a flowy dress before the vacation.  

Before you see the pictures below, I would like to let you know that it was FREEZING the evening they did this photo shoot / run in to the ocean.  I was bunded up with coat and blanket in my beach chair.  I am pretty sure they were having so much fun, they did not even notice it was cold.

There they go.  Photo shoot done.  Now time for a soak.

Here they come, super victorious!

Since they were already soaked, they decided to just take of their dresses and go for it.  They had come prepared with swimsuits underneath.
