Thanks


Our annual trip to Ventura for Thanksgiving was loaded with family, food, and ocean.  We had such a relaxing time, and savored this lovely pause before the December TO DO lists come out.

The kids had hours of cousin time on the beach, and I couldn't seem to stop taking pictures.







Clara delighted in lots of bonding time with Stevie.

We got caught up with Gomma, Thanksgiving hostess with the mostest.

And the sunsets were spectacular, as always.

Driving home, we were amazed when this scene appeared through the windshield: 
A perfectly-placed Rest Area allowed us to get out and frolic (and pose) in the white stuff.  It was hilarious how the place was jammed with Thanksgiving road-trippers doing exactly the same thing.   We lowland California dwellers go pretty berserk around snow (I know, shame on me, with my Canadianness and all....). 

Countless things to be thankful for this year.  Beach and snow all in the same day is well up the list.
