I am grateful for a lazy morning.

I am grateful for a trip we took to Botanical Beach. It’s an amazing place; smooth rock formations and potholes make for a thriving collection of tidal pools, and the weather cleared just as we arrived.

It’s a long drive, and we didn’t get moving until the afternoon. “Is this crazy?” Julie asked me on the way up, “Yes,” I replied. It was, we had roughly a 2:1 ratio of driving to being there, but it was totally worth it.
