california dreamin'

oh how i've been dreaming of a family get-away. right now the west indies, or anywhere in the caribbean is of interest. need to do a little more research to see if it's feasible. the honey and i have been to hondorus, belize, cuba and the caribbean side of mexico but to the islands just south of the us mainland, i have always wanted to explore and i think a true family beach vacation would be so fun for the three of us! feel free to give me ideas and feedback if you've been so lucky to travel that way.

last month we stayed local, but experienced a beautiful piece of california we had never seen. we met our dear friends the covers and convened in a family friend's guest cottage (thank you pearsons!) in inverness/pt. reyes station. it wound up being just the get-away i was hoping for. quiet, beautiful, organic and new to our eyes. a perfect escape (even during labor day weekend!). we ate delicious food out (e tried her first pizza ever! woodfire.), went on a beautiful coastal hike, had delicious homemade meals (complete with locally caught oysters) and just enjoyed each others company. there were definitely activities we didn't get to do and i really look forward to our next trip there. i also really look forward to our future beach vacation outside of cali!!
