Water, sand castles, wave jumping, whale spotting, dog spotting, ice cream, scaling sand dunes and rolling back down, testing out the taste of sand…..

Unseasonably hot weather, a foggy nostalgic bay front morning, amazing Mexican food, a touch of pregnancy fatigue and return of nausea.

Old friends with new babies, uncles, aunts, cousins and more new babies.

Powell’s, donuts, coffee, Adidas, family, and an unexpected end, taking me suddenly from the Pacific to the Atlantic.

This year's family vacation was my favorite one to date, it is crazy to think that next year another little human will be joining us!
