Missing the Beach Life...

When our gorgeous weather lingered into late fall, I hung onto hope that winter would never rear its ugly head. But alas, my dream was shattered when we returned from Thanksgiving in freezing Chicago to a very cold, rainy and windy Atlanta.  I'm definitely not a cold weather girl and this big chill is making me long for my days in sunny California.  I loved living in Huntington Beach....long runs along the boardwalk, summer days that never end, sipping cocktails on a patio along Main Street or catching the amazing sunsets only the west coast can offer.  Something about the beach just makes me breath easier. 

My ultimate desire is to live at the beach again.  But until I become a millionaire I'll have to settle for the occasional visit.  Whenever we go to Cali to visit family we always try to hit the beach.  Lucky for me my sister lives in La Jolla.  On our last trip we spent a day in nearby Del Mar just grabbing a coffee, walking around and letting the kids play.  It was one of those days when you just feel so blessed to be able to share this special time with your family.  I captured a lot of beautiful pictures of the day.... but my favorites are these of my boys just enjoying each other and the fresh sea air. These photos just make me smile...how could they not.
