explore: napa river

thought i would share some pictures from my overnight fishing adventure. had a surprisingly wonderful weekend in the bay! packed up a bunch of library books, wine, delicious food + elliot then launched the boat out of napa as the tide was changing. we explored the sf bay, fished around the mothball fleet in suisun bay + anchored overnight in a little slew (name i can not recall).

even if you are not into fishing, i highly recommend exploring napa via water!

pole watching paid off (we put him back).

explore: muir beach

{my sister ashley + my pup pablo}

yesterday my sister ashley + i packed a picnic + took our mom to muir beach for mother's day! we had such a lovely afternoon...the sun was out, the air was fresh, the drive was gorgeous {no traffic i might add}, a sweet lady moved her car over a bit so we could park {thank you sweet lady}, we indulged in some homemade fried chicken + a delicious fruit salad, nibbled on cookies + cupcakes, sipped on wine, chatted + people watched.

i have to say what made the day extra special {besides being with my mom} was the fact that pablo could be included. he was such a good boy...loved every minute of playing in the ocean + soaking up the sun. his puppy curiosity + charm made us all giggle {got to love a dog friendly beach}!

it was days like yesterday that remind me not only of how lucky we are to live in california, but how the simplest things can bring you the most joy.
