Beach Day in December

Turns out I am loving this whole 2 weeks off for Christmas thing! Life is GOOD! We've had really nice weather all week, so Libby and I went down to the beach for a bit on Tuesday. It was at least 70 at our house, but the wind at the beach made it pretty cool down there, so I was glad I brought Libby's jacket!

Gotta love the coastline!
She got out and walked around a bit, but wasn't a fan of the "rough" terrain and sand all over her. I guess that just tells me it's been too long since summer! Don't worry - I'll re-convert her quickly, I'm sure! ;)

We love the ocean!

After cruising the beach, we stopped by the Ritz Carlton to see their annual gingerbread display. Last year it was an old-fashioned Woody, and this year it was a replica of the ship "The Pilgrim" that's in Dana Point. Pretty special for me since I got to stay the night on the Pilgrim in 5th grade. The entire scene is made out of candy - the sails alone were over 100 lbs of white chocolate!

Libby thought it was fantastic and kept saying, "treat, treat, treat". Notice her trying to sneak a piece while I was preoccupied taking the picture - that little punk!

Just another great day NOT to be working! Woo-hoo!
