| i'm actually a mermaid |


"The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea." -- Isak Dinesen

Spending four days at the beach makes a high-rise office setting a bit difficult to return to. There are few things that beat lounging ocean-side in a hot tub. And, I did just that. All. Weekend. Long. 

Quick background: since there are so many kids, significant others, babies, etc. in the family, my parents gift us all a weekend get-away to a quaint coastal region of California for Christmas each year. Last year we explored (and fell in love with) Inverness. This year we made an adventure out of Stinson Beach. It really is the most wonderful present. Hopefully, one day, I'll cary on this same tradition with my family. 

I am the happiest at, in, and near the ocean. I even went thigh-high into the water, wearing a bikini, just so I could feel the Pacific in February. 

I'll let my photos do the rest of the talking now. You'll find pictures of the beach, of the house we stayed in, the dining table we feasted at, the famous fog, Mama Bear, the small and sweet town of Stinson, little boy Henry, a big brother, and dad + dog.

Right // Wrong

Things I did right this weekend:

  • Dined on french soul food in the Tenderloin  at Brenda's. It really is as wonderful as everyone says it is. 
  • Went on walks with company, and alone
  • Drank fine whiskey with my sister + the boys
  • Grocery shopped for under $100
  • Took pictures on my real camera (not my phone)
  • Painted my nails
  • Cleaned the house. Really cleaned the house.
  • Wrote in my journal some
  • Laundry. Lots of laundry.
  • Explored a new part of the city on foot
  • Packed veggie-heavy snacks for work this week
Things I did wrong this weekend:
  • Worked from home on Sunday (but this makes Monday a little bit easier...?)
  • Ate far too much cheese, carbs, and candy
  • Made Ken watch the season premiere of The Bachelor with me
  • Misled us to the wrong bar ahead of timely reservations, which resulted in a 8+ block walk
