Sunshine On My Shoulders

Sunshine on my shoulder’s make’s me happy. 🙂 I love when the Golden Coast shows off her natural beauty. Our first full weekend in Santa Barbara and we were doing what we loved most- bike rides and the beach. We were quite convinced that we were ready to give up our beloved beach cruisers just…

San Diego: A Story of Sunrises

One of my goals for the New Year was to wake up early and greet each day with a fresh and open mind. The best way for me to do this was to wake before the sun and watch her beautiful rays wave hello to the moon. Dave and I had been spending our final…

Do You Believe in Magic?

Back in January, Dave and I spent a weekend at the Magical Disneyland… and I did not post anything of the adventure. However, I have a few photos and thoughts that I just need to share : ) I truly believe everyone should have a person in his or her world that just makes the…

Rain Dance.

Pitter pat the rain falls slowly on our window pane. Waking up slowly, I snuggled a little closer to Dave who was still softly asleep next to me.

I was at Minneapolis International Airport- posted <—- this photo,    boarded a plane and headed to Charlottesville, Virginia.

a few of my favorite things;

Have I mentioned that I love Sundays? How about bike rides on the beach? What about the fact that it’s seventy degrees and sunny in December? Or, breakfast burritos? And of course, David! I have? Well, that’s because those are just a few of my favorite things. Roll those five things into one delightful day…

Balboa Park – December Nights

The most wonderful time of the year- Christmas season has finally dawned upon us. And, even where the sun shines all the time and the weather rarely drops below forty degrees- it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. Though we are missing the snow and cool weather, and spend our days on the beaches…
