autumn in oak glen

we had a great time welcoming the fall season up in oak glen eating apple cider donuts, tasting apples & drinking apple cider. oh and eating super yummy bbq! the weather was great, the food was delish and the company was excellent.

we started this tradition of going with the caldwell's last year and i love it. i'll admit, going this year was a little more stressful with a baby, but it was still fun. i just need to relax a little more and not sweat it if everything isn't perfect. yet another thing i need to be better at. i'm a work in progress. :)

i can't wait for next year when rockwell is walking around in the apple orchards with little claire!!!

a little babymoon

last weekend we had a blast visiting friends in san diego, taking maternity pictures and staying at a hotel for a night before the baby comes. it was a little mini vaca that was much needed. we ate delicious food and spent time with the grochmals and the dicksons. it was fantastic. i didn't take a ton of pictures while we were in san diego, but i managed to snap a few when we got to the hotel in dana point. we could see the ocean from any spot on the grounds and we were in the pool or jacuzzi most of the time we were there. we are definitely going back for another staycation in the years to come!

30 weeks!!!

an evening in manhattan beach

when we found out our favorite pizza place, grimaldi's, opened in el segundo we just had to go down and check it out. i didn't get a picture of the pizza, i just wanted to enjoy my meal, but it was delicious. after dinner we drove down to the manhattan beach pier and watched the sunset. it was so perfect. we walked through the little aquarium at the end of the pier and then got some ice cream at cute little dessert place up the street. it was a fantastic day. a perfect california spring night!

the county fair

for our first weekend back in california we hit up the orange county fair with the caldwell's and the mulroney's. we love being back close to family and friends. the day was perfect. sunshine, overeating, a cool sea breeze and lots of people watching. i love this tradition!
