So Long California...

It was hard to pull away from California's beauty, sun, salty air and slow pace. Even Stella wanted to stay! While it was cooler than we hoped, it was still amazingly rejuvenating.

Aside from our two day-trips, we spent time at the beach, explored the small town of Carlsbad and fell in love with their farmer's market, ate out at a lot of delicious restaurants, spent a few days at Encinitas having a beach fire with Geoff's dad and his wife Robin, watching a surf competition, browsing the shops and eating a lion's share of açai bowls. Geoff, himself, keeps the açai place in Encinitas in business.

Adele, Ceci and Stella watched movies out on the back patio.

And there was the silliness that comes with feeling so alive.

We watched every sun set.

Geoff's dad sang in a community performance of the Messiah, with Robin playing the organ, so Geoff and I went to feel the power of that music. Wow. It didn't disappoint!

Easter day, after attending the local church, we had an Easter devotional on the beach.

These three played in the sand when things went a little long...

We went back to the house and grilled up an Easter feast and ate to the sun going down on a beautiful Easter, fully celebrated.

So long California. Until next time!
