Biking family of five

I just learned about this family's quest to travel to Alaska from Mount Vernon, KY.
They just made their way to the round-about off Leucadia Blvd. What a bonding experience for this household. I did ask my wife if we do could a similar type biking trip? She said "didn't we do 7000 miles last summer" yes in a motorhome.

Happy New Year

With so much to be thankful for like family and friends, at our house we really slowed down to savor this season. The weather and surfing has been outstanding. A year ago most people were uncertain about the new way forward with so many rapid changes under way. Now that many of us have adapted to the "New Normal" it has an effect of making our lives simpler. We wish you the very best Happy New You!

Easter Sunday and the surf rats are at it again!~

Ocean week

Over the last 8 days has been a fun set of events that centers around Cardiff School. How lucky for our children as well as the parents to enjoy the resource of living by-the-sea. My son and daughter are currently intrigued with "ocean animal art" along with creative ideas that adults know are not reality.

I'm so happy to see them dream and believe in mermaids as well as riding dolphins while reading!
