Why I Live in Carpinteria

After an exciting and relaxing week in Kentucky with the Perez family (more on that
in a future post) we arrived home late last night (about 12:30 am). This morning was
cool and clear. After breakfast, with Toby and Lucy taking naps to recover from jet
lag, Max and I spent some time in the front yard. I read a
book
and he played on his fort. It was a beautiful morning.

When naps were over, our family got on our bikes and headed to the beach for some
eats. We cruised along the ocean on a short bike ride and enjoyed our sunny afternoon
with temperatures in the mid-60s. I was wearing shorts.

Such a contrast to the high of 31 and low of 12 degrees we experienced on Thursday
in Kentucky!
