a much-needed mini vacation...


our 8th anniversary (!) was this week, and my whole family is in town from all parts of the western hemisphere, so they watched the kiddo while my love and i took off for catalina island alone! (and bought this cute wooden horse for joey - at a thrift store for a dollar, haha - i think i want to use it as one of those travel-icon-things, like the gnome in Amelie - take it with us on all our travels, and document our adventures - and its!)




our sweet little victorianesque pink hotel :)




we have lots more photos from the trip, but we haven't gotten to sort through them yet, so i thought i'd at least share the couple i had on my iphone! :)



my favorite part of these little jaunts (ok, this is only our second time ;) is the boat ride... wind whipping my hair (and dress) in all directions, salty ocean spray, so much sparkling blue... here's the sharks we bought at the candy store on the island (i know - they really look like they're swimming out there, right? ;) - in addition to some awesome childhood-memory-inducing jawbreakers :)
