A {great} day at the beach

Today was one of those days that was just perfect.

We drove up to Bodega Bay yesterday for a little family getaway. The drive was gorgeous. Farm land, gold fields, and sun for miles.

Thanks to Finn, we got an early start so we decided to have breakfast then walk to the beach. Finn is a water baby, for sure. We sat him as far away from the ocean as possible, and each time he took off, full speed ahead towards the water. No fear, just awe.

Then we headed to a crab shack for a picnic lunch. We found a spot high above the waves and had a great lunch of crab sandwiches, cokes, and orzo salad. We even got to see a whale.

Finn fell asleep in the car and Markus did me a solid by driving around so I could get some alone time. I found a nice spot by the water and napped. Heaven!

We got some pool time in and then headed to a relaxing dinner by the water. A nice stranger even offered to take a picture of all of us.

This is one of those days I'll always remember. The kind of day you imagine when daydreaming of having kids. My heart is happy.
