Hello all– I guess you know there’s few things a mom likes more than time with her kids. Ours are scattered far afield, but this past weekend we met up in Cambria for windy walks, good meals, a little touristing and some late night Trivial Pursuit. And stories. I could listen to them go forever. So here’s a few pics from our weekend away. It was grand.

We joined the cluster of tourists trundling up the hills to Hearst Castle, built almost a century ago to contain the architectural and art collections of of William Randolph Hearst–at points imposing, other moments beautiful and surrounded by views of velvety hills and the sea.
And you know I sure did enjoy sitting down to eat pretty meals that I didn’t have to cook. We talked over plates of curry, baskets of sandwiches, servings of ham and eggs…
The shores of middle California are rockier, more wild than our sandy, busy beaches down south. We walked along the wooden boardwalk watching waves thunder in and joined the crowds peering down at the rows of lugubrious elephant seals. And our windy sunset walk sent us scurrying along the cliffs. So much beauty.
Thanks Old AA & Jessica, Ani & Brian and Laurel-Lu for making our weekend the best.
P.S. thanks Larry & Ani for the photos I stole–good ones!
Time with our kids IS the best! What joy just being in their presence, with grand conversations, brings. So happy for your priceless time together!
Hey Andi– are you recovering with your computer on your lap? Hope you are enduring well. God Keep You. Still praying…
Looks like such a wonderful and fun time together. Gorgeous photos!! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Danielle- It is good to have those kids together– It seems like they were the age of your kids not so long ago.
Okay. I am jealous! How wonderful to get to spend the time with your children in such a beautiful place.
It’s a good spot Christine –for your kids too, half way up to SF.
What a sweet, fun weekend that was for all of you. Now you just need to get Micah and the girls on your side of the ocean and do it again!
Hugs to you Lu. Loved your post today. http://lerskin.wordpress.com
