California Dreamin'...

I'm joining Vee today at her Wednesday Note Card Party.  Hope I can figure out how to do the Linky thing. 

A Haven for Vee


Was going through my pictures and I decided to show a few pics from the coast of California.  My husband and I went out there last September - one of our best trips!  We absolutely loved it!  It was hard to choose just 4!  Enjoy!

 Southern California...  sigh...

 Above is Morro Bay...

And, last, Saucelito.  So pretty!  Hope we can re-visit that beautiful place again soon!   Thanks for lookin'!
Have a wonderful week!

Had to take a closer look at the last photo. It is so very beautiful and I can see you creating a fine painting of it. You did just great with the party and Mr. Linky. There's nothing to it! Thanks for joining right in.

Hi Vickie, Having grown up and lived most of my adult life in northern Ca. I so appreciate your photos. Southern Ca. is almost like another state. I do miss the ocean and the beauty but not the crowds and stress. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.

The California coast is beautiful.My Mom & Dad lived in Carmel when I was born and they loved it.I see in the old black & white photos why so many people were drawn to CA. CA could use your photos to promote more tourism.

Sharon said...

The photos are so inviting, when do we leave???lol
Would love to have a cabin on there.

Beautiful photos! I would love the be there right now. I made the trip from LA to SF up Pacific Coast Hwy. many years ago, but it still stands out in my mind as a beautiful drive.

Barb said...

Hi Vickie!

What gorgeous pictures, I can remember when you went to California - seems like forever ago!

I also loved the post with your garden - it's so beautiful! I can't believe all of the produce you have already gotten - we are just starting to see green here in Idaho!

Hugs,
Barb

Your beautiful pictures make me want to go back to the California coast some day..... I loved Saucelito.

You must be so happy to have your daughter and son in law coming home.... this was a great life experience for them.
Hugs,

Kid #4 Jeremiah has been to CA the last two spring breaks for the National Chemistry Association (or something like that) meetings. They went to Anaheim last year, and this year to San Diego. He absolutely LOVED San Diego and wants to go back.
That's one part of the country I can't get Rick to go. He's strange like that. The pictures are gorgeous, Chickie!
