After Christmas Day By The Beach

Every Christmas lots of family comes down to visit. It's crazy... kids running everywhere...but a fun tradition none the less. The days after Christmas are always a little more relaxed. We always end up spending some time by the beach. Being in Southern California, although none traditional, I always enjoy walking by the beach in the crisp December air. 

Us older "kids" escaped for this beautiful hike on the coast. It really is so beautiful.

We even got in a small little photo shoot

Fall Days in Northern California

Thanksgiving was spent up in Northern California, and while I've been up there many times before, I think I kind of fell in love with the area. All these pictures were taken on Thanksgiving Day. We went on a little walk before the big meal. Maybe it was the beautiful fall weather and crisp air or simply the thrill of being able to stretch my legs after an eight hour car drive--either way I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

The company on the walk was pretty good too ;)
