Beach, Baby!

I’m a beach baby. A California girl.  And now I have proof (see photo above)!  My parents just scanned a huge stack of our old photos and I’m LOVING all the play memories and looking back on all our family fun.  Wow! I’ve had such a great life.  Thanks, Mom and Dad!

So this weekend, I’m escaping from the normal grind. My plan is to unplug and Be Out There!  There are 3 things on my list that I hope every family gets a chance to do this weekend:

1. Experience a sunset – Notice that I didn’t write “see a sunset.” I mean really appreciate it in all its amazing beauty.

2. Take a family stroll – Sooooo simple. Just take a little walk. It can be around the block or at the beach. No need to make it a big production.  Take notice of the world around you. Even bring a magnifying glass for the kids to check out things along the way. Don’t rush. It’s a stroll, not a hike!

3. Eat outside – A lunch picnic, a dinner picnic, snacking at a Farmer’s Market, a family barbecue, or even outdoor seating at a restaurant!  I like to bring our breakfast outdoors.

See you outside!
