Short but Sweet

June 6 - 8, 2008

This weekend we went down to Ventura to spend the weekend with my parents for a much needed vacation. Saturday morning Nono took Cory and Caleb to the beach at low tide to look for shells and to check out the tide pools. Noni (Caleb calls her NiNi - sounds like "Knee knee") Hillari and I went to the Farmer's Market to buy strawberries and other such delicious goodies. HIllari bought some jalapeno/cheese bread, fresh honey and flowers, Noni bought 3 tamales, kettle corn, strawberries and lavender, I bought 3 baskets of strawberries to put on top of a lemon cheesecake we were going to have on Sunday. The rest of Saturday was really casual. Cory, Caleb and I went for a walk and soaked up the cool weather and sunshine. On Sunday morning mom made scones, scrambled eggs and cut up some fruit. I thought the colors of breakfast looked striking next to the deep purple of the lavender so I just had to get a pic. After church we met for a BBQ lunch back at the condo, cleaned up the place and headed back to reality. It was a short trip but sweet.
