Sunset Beach & Labor Day

We went camping for Labor Day again this year. Last year we went to a great campground in Uvas Canyon, but I've been dying for a beach camp experience. Of course, it was much different than my experiences with beach camping in Southern California, but it was still a lot of fun.

 September in NorCal can be chilly. I thought it was going to be colder than it actually was, but at least we were prepared!

 All the pictures I took of him looked like this :)

 After a fun night of camping and a delicious breakfast, we headed to the beach! On our way down we saw at least two dorsal fins. Luckily we had only planned on beach-combing anyway.

Sunset Beach is full of sand dollars! James found quite a few.

Amelia just liked running and trying to scare me with getting too close to the shark infested waters.

The view is quite stunning. The beach is surrounded by large agricultural farms full of lettuces and strawberries. It's quite different from Southern California, but a fun adventure.

Anyone who knows Paul knows he's a sucker for pie. So before heading home we went to Gizdich Ranch. It's a very cute apple farm with amazing pies. Like, seriously the best pie I've ever had.

It was a very relaxing weekend and we got some much-needed r&r! Now it's back to the grind of life.
