A Change of Scenery

I love the lush green of Oregon, but we traded it this week for a view of the California coast and the San Joaquin Valley in Central California.  It's worth it sometimes to have a break & visit with family. 

We enjoyed a nice visit to the beach this weekend.  The weather was beautiful and sunny, but a bit chilly. 

The change of scenery has been nice.  My cousin found me a whole sand dollar.  Not something you'd think is a big deal, but it's kind of hard to find them without any chips in them. 

On one of our morning walks my uncle picked a fresh pomegranate for me.  They're a lot of trouble for a little reward, but I still enjoy them. Anyway, it's been a great week, more later...
