When I was little, we lived just north of Monterey in Salinas, CA. I have a lot of fond memories of going to the beach there as a child, so it was a walk down memory lane to return there. We drove directly from the airport to the beach at lover's point; the same place that I played in the ocean as a child. What a perfect way to start off the trip, watching my son play on the same beach that I so often did when I was young. Sitting on the beach brought back lots of memories and we spent most of that first day reminiscing about my younger days.
We also stopped at the Giant Artichoke in Castorville to pick up deep fried artichoke hearts.
(also an old haunt) Yummmy, yummy!
In all my excitement, I didn't take one darn photo that day....can you believe? I was just so caught up in moment. Don't worry though, I took plenty later to make up for it.
WHY THE BLOG
- BECAUSE.....
- BECAUSE..i want to capture life's little moments, before they slip away. BECAUSE I never started a baby book and I can't seem to scrapbook fast enough. BECAUSE he'll be all grown up before I know it, and I'll have this to look back on. BECAUSE it's a great way to share with those we love. BECAUSE he's just so darn cute. BECASUE I'm so blessed to stay home and enjoy these special moments. BECAUSE I need to be reminded that memories are more important than things. BECAUSE I want to slow down and enjoy the little things. BECAUSE We need to be challenged to explore the world around us. BECAUSE my memory is failing, if I don't get it down quickly, I'm sure to forget. BECAUSE it's so much fun, I have to share. BECAUSE I always want to remember.
