Does Mother Nature have Amnesia?

Has she forgotten that it is the middle of January? Where is the rain? Where is the fog? Why is it so warm???

At any rate, it was PERFECT for a weekend at the coast!! It was 70 degrees, no fog, no wind, no rain. The White family left their cozy Bodega Bay beach house to join us for an afternoon on the secluded beach at Anchor Bay. Also brave Mr. Roberts (minus the Mrs. - we missed you Mel!) took his 3 kids for a 6 hour round trip drive and joined us for the afternoon at the coast and drove back home the same day! I know the drive was long but wasn't it worth it?!! Here's some pictures of our trip...


Sadie, Maile, Marissa, and Mason playing in the waves... I guess I should have packed swim suits for the kids!

Miss Mackenzie
The drive home is long, but beautiful. This is how it looked as we were driving home. I love how the green grassy hills roll all the way to the ocean.



The beaches were packed!




Boat on the river we passed on the way home.





We had a fun weekend with good company. We missed everyone that wasn't able to make it this time! As for you, Mother Nature... now you can bring on the rain! We're gonna need it!!

Wow Amber! Love the Pictures!!! You have no idea how jealous of you I am right now!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so so so COLD here right now. And foggy. The sun has only come out for a couple of hours the last couple of days and not at all on Saturday. We need the snow but I am so ready for warmer weather or to go where it is warm!
