A Getaway & Forgotten Treasure

I love love love old houses and can spend hours imagining their history.
All they have seen, what they were once like, who lived there, etc.
I think they are forgotten treasures.
You find them everywhere it seems-
beautiful old homes that are falling further and further into disrepair.
and a favorite of mine is one that that sits quietly on the property of one of the hotels we
love to stay at in Santa Cruz.

I absolutely love the beach.

It just centers me. 

Sitting on the beach listening to the waves crash in and quietly pull back

with the warm sun on me
and my toes sunken into the sand...

I think it's about as quiet as I get.




 I can hear myself think and feel so inspired.

Well... more like inspired inside
 because I really enjoy just sitting and relaxing! ;)

This week, we went to Santa Cruz for a couple of days with the kids during their Fall break
It was in the upper 70's with warm sunshine with hardly any wind~ perfect Fall beach weather.

When we are with the kids in Santa Cruz,
one of the places we love to stay is the Chaminade Resort. 

Love love love.

It is rich in history, amazingly beautiful and quiet and sits up on the top of a mountain 

It's a perfect place to recharge and rejuvenate.
