Springtime Sabbatical

Escape to the Sea!

And that is exactly what we did!

Well Spring is officially here! Time for renewal and rebirth and of course... spring cleaning!
Well, for our family this past Easter vacation week we decided to get away for a few days to clear our minds and just spend time together with no distractions.
For those of you who do not know, we were expecting our 4Th child, however it just wasn't in God's plan and I miscarried.
My husband decided it would be a good time to take us away to our favorite family get-away, Carpinteria, a quaint little beach town located just below Santa Barbara.
It was a fabulous time of refreshment. We made a lot of good memories to take home forever in our hearts.

I just had to share some of our pictures.
We managed to do a lot in the time we had ;0)
We went to the Santa Barbara Zoo & Botanical Gardens, road the train, went to the Ty Warner Sea Museum and spent time trekking the Santa Barbara Fisherman's Wharf
( I even got to have my bowl of Clam Chowder and Sour Dough bread... yum!) I came back ultra recharged with a sense of thanksgiving for my family. I realized that I am so blessed and experienced a renewed excitement for life & business.
Thanks for visiting ;0) Blessings, Angela

Angela...beautiful pictures. Mark and I had a miscarriage 2 years before having Chloe. We went to Hawaii a week or so after. I will have to tell you more about it later. I hope things are well for you now.

It looks like a great place to get away....
