We took a little trip to Northern California to visit Braydn's cute sister & family. We had such a blast, she lives in the most gorgeous area but wasn't really what I thought when picturing Cali. It was FREEZING there and dumb me only packed us all one jacket and one pair of pants and the rest was all summer clothes. So we were actually there for several days despite what our clothes say in every single picture.



We did a little crusin' around town in Eureka, this little shopping area had so much character. Now if only the shops had been open! We went on Labor Day and I guess everyone takes the day off so nothing was opened.


The Beach




Nothing like a good ole' bonfire at the beach topped off with some sand filled s'mores.


Triniadad Head Trail

Nixon has this obsession with Braydn's ears, its so funny.





Fern Canyon



Fern Canyon was a hit. It was so beautiful and I am told this is where they filmed some of Jurassic Park. Braydn would shoot me if I told you that he said this would probably be where Edward, Jacob & Belle lived.
(on his behalf no he didn't read the books, he was just forced to watch the lame movies with me.)

Nixon decided to make the most of the 14 hour drive by catching up on some reading.
It was so great to spend time with family.
Thanks again Kins & Joe for letting us invade your house for a week!

I can't believe how old he is...and smart, reading books for 14 hours! ;) What a cutie. That looks like an amazing trip and it's good you're breaking Nixon in young. This way he'll always be a good traveler!
