Love California!


My husband and I got
to spend a week at the
central coast of California
 visiting with family ~
 That is where we are from
so it is going home for us ~

When I go back I often 
am amazed at what I took
for granted when 
we lived there ~
I just LOVE the beach and
LOVE the mountains that
you have to drive over
to get to the beach ~

This is Avila Beach
where I spent so many
days in the summers~
I want to come spend 
a week just here now ❤


 Who would have thought
that swinging on the beach
could be the most fun ever!!



I LOVE my mom and dad's house
that is on a mountain that
overlooks 3 towns ~ 

I LOVE driving the winding 
roads seeing the beautiful
wineries and vineyards that
are everywhere ~

Spending time in California
with my family that lives
there is just some
of our best times!


This is my sister, Kim
and I in Morro Bay~

Thankfully we get to 
go back a few times a year
which is a blessing for sure!

Lots of hugs,
Lori

I have family in California and have always wanted to move there! It has a beauty all it's own. Driving down the coast is a priceless experience.

Sounds like you had the best time!

I was in California from 9-17 so these pictures really make me miss it!! My daughter is in Ventura now. The pictures of the grapes make me want to pour a glass of wine this morning!. I hope you had a lovely time you and your hubby took a really cute pic together!

Avila Beach is one of my favorite places! My daughter goes to school at Cal Poly SLO so we are up tht way a couple times a year. The Central Coast is heaven!

I couldn't agree with you more! I LOVE CA and all it offers! I get a giggle when I happen upon a post about a town I have spent time in. My son lives in SLO so when I've visited, I've stayed at the Avila Inn. Right on the bike trail that takes you past the golf course and lands you at beach. Good memories!

Thanks for sharing! We don't know California yet, so these pictures are priceless...
I'm glad you enjoy your family and trip!
