Nipomo Visit

One of my favorite pictures of all time...





Last weekend we ventured to the coast to visit some family who just relocated to Nipomo.  To make the complicated family tree more simple, we consider them our aunt and uncle -- Rusty and Tenli.  It was a wonderful little getaway for us, very relaxing, and we also got to see their daughter Rhyan, her husband Michael, and their new baby girl Dylan.  On Saturday afternoon, the girls (Tenli, Rhyan, Tess, Dylan and myself) shopped at an interesting little craft fair in Halcyon while the guys played 9 holes.  Tenli made a delicious dinner for us, and we turned in fairly early for a great night's sleep in their guest room.  On Sunday morning we took a quick drive to Osso Flaco Lake for a walk on the beach.  It was just beautiful, and I had to share some of the pics taken on my iPhone.  Oh how I wish I'd had my Canon, some warmer clothes, and more time to capture the expanse of sea, sand and sky.  I managed to get some adorable pics of Chad and Tess that will be wonderful mementos of their relationship for years to come (she is the ultimate "Daddy's Girl"!).  Tenli also took a great family pic of us on the beach, which I love.  We had a great time catching up with them, seeing their new place, and exploring the Nipomo area.  The sights and smells (beach, farmland, eucalyptus trees, the ocean air) remind me so much of my childhood in Ventura! 
 
Hiking in the sand ain't easy when you're pregnant! Just sayin'.
