missing summer.

i was going through some old photos tonight, just sort of cleaning up my hard drive, and i found some pictures from a trip my family took to pebble beach during the summer, and i never got around to blogging them!
this trip was really great!  although, the ride there was a bit of a nightmare.  it was chloe, sean, lee and i and i had a migraine, chloe's husband, sean, was sick as a dog, we drove ALL night and ended up in some super cute town called Truckee around breakfast time to let sean rest before we got back on the road (nausea and riding in the car are NOT a good mix, poor guy).
when we finally got to pebble beach in california, we were all SO relieved!

the house we stay at every year is so beautiful.  it belongs to my cousin's husband's grandma (ya dig? hehe) and it's right on the pebble beach golf course, with a gorgeous view of the ocean.
these are some pictures from around the garden . . .

my cousin's cute dog cash.  he's basically a giant puppy.  he's adorable.

i want their kitchen.

this is the VERRRY pretty beach. some of us were down there every single day.

kinzy's dog ellie.  she's a little bit prissy.  but SO cute and definitely has a personality.  

cash was so hyper while we were at the beach.  there were dogs everywhere and he was just having the best time ever!  he was playin in the water, diggin for little crabs and such . . .

all tuckered out.  but that only lasted, like, two seconds.

yes. this neighborhood is veeeerrrry ritzy.

sigh.  i'm super tired.  i hope you all had a wonderful week, and can i just say thank goodness for weekends???
