Sunshine Every Day

Ok, I have one more photo loaded post about my vacay to San Diego {two weeks ago}.

The weather was beautiful and it made me happy to see how many people were outside enjoying it.

We were three of them...



The little coastal towns along Hwy 101 were so cute. We particularly enjoyed Encinitas.

While strolling down 101, I looked down and saw succulents growing wild... for the first time! I got really excited. {It's the little things...}

Baby James was so easy to tote around all over the place... He was quite content riding kangaroo style.

{Jane Gray has two different color eyes... she's unique like that.}

These two are pretty hilarious and of course, there was never a dull moment.

I'm crossing my fingers that I will get to see them again very soon, but until then, the phone and facetime will have to do. I'm so so thankful for such a fun week.

And so long sunny, beautiful southern California... I hope to visit you again, sooner than later.

a Day in Julian

One of my favorite things about California is that in most parts of the state you can go from beaches to mountains in just a few hours... and not wanting to pass up an opportunity to get my "mountain fix" I've been needing all summer, we made a little day trip to Julian.

Yes, baby James was in tow.

Julian is known for its many apple orchards and wineries. Unfortunately we showed up just a few weeks too late and found that most of these delicious apples had bit the dust. Literally...

Oh wait, I did find one little straggler...

I wasn't complaining too bad that we couldn't pick fresh apples because we enjoyed them in the form of apple pie from this quaint little country cafe.

Julian was absolutely beautiful and I definitely got my "mountain fix".

As you would probably guess, I have many more pictures to share and they will come hopefully sooner than later.

Ok, just one more!

I can't help it. Can you blame me??

Ok I'm seriously ending this post now...
