Hey California Miles, Sunshine and Smiles

Pictures from California!

Nathan makes the funniest faces when his ears are popping.

These parents are cool.

Boy and dog, Take 1.

I understand you now.

Some things never change.

I still cannot picture, but who cares if I am with you two?

Santa Barbara is artsy.

Wind chimes sound sweeter in California air.

I found you, sunshine.

You lovely creatures -- Crossfit, pull it together.

She is what amazing looks like.

We brought home dusty Santa Barbara.

West Coast water, you're a cold but pretty lady.

They wear California well.

Why do we walk on mosaics?

Befriending this tri-tip business was so worth the hassle. 

Oh hey, you stunning product of California sunshine.

This table hosts perpetual laughter and sass.

Adam's cactus experiment.

Cassie is a fluffy manifestation of sunshine.

BALL.

This girl cooks and sasses in ways that inspire me.

Mr's Gilman's apple pie. 'Nough said.

"But human, why are we inside when the ball is outside?"

Boy and dog, Take 2. 

Introduce yourself to some California nature, it is good for your soul.

Hey friend, you are beautiful.

You guys have crazy smiling eyes.

This picture summarizes so many things about my relationship to you two. 

How are Gilman's bluffs more beautiful than the stories?

He will climb literally everything he finds. 

The sun fell and caught the mountains on fire.

I'm on (a) crack.

Windblown wildflowers.

The golfers on Gilman's bluff are not hospitable. 

Doesn't that path look like the beginning of an adventure?

PC: Nathan's phone and my sandal. Good work, team.

Nathan and Gilman bringing the heat....to these jammin' blueberry pancakes.

"But I need all of them!"

If you say "impertinent pipsqueak" out loud Nathan will respond. 

Roof down, beach bound.

Goleta Beach is perfect.

Did you know that smoothies cancel out sunburn?

Fancy kids going fancy places.

We are hunting down a private concert. Talk about excitement!

Even downtown Santa Barbara can't escape that sunshine.

That was definitely sparkling water.

Black coffee and string quartet = happy happy happy.

You are stunning!

Happy happy happy.

We found his barista brothers in downtown Santa Barbara.

Pierre has one eye and loves strangers with coffee.

Lemon orchards, mountain peaks. Santa Barbara, why so steep?

Hunting down a view is still the coolest thing.

Jesusita Trail.

These two are what "beautiful inside and out" actually looks like.

River City and the Clarinet.

Used book = inspiration.

When you can read with a friend, you have arrived at the zone of "bestest."

Send us off with fire to warm our hearts until we find California sun again.

Adam gets artsy with long exposure.

He is a happy camper.

Airport runs are only made better with top down.

Hair cuts before home.
