Road trip

This is what I did last weekend....visited the relaxing little town of Gualala. I love this place. It reminds me of family and sweet memories, it is full of adventures on rocky and sandy beaches and hikes through tall redwoods, and bonfires with roasted marshmallows (or in this case...Beck's fake ones he kept sharing with me). Basically the best part about this place is that there is no reception and no 4g. So you can relax and become unattached from the world. You live in you hiking/camping clothes, smell like smoke the whole trip, eat horribly and often and I love it!
I get teary-eyed watching this, Beck is getting so big - he is becoming such a big boy.
I love this video-making kick that my husband is on, he is basically a contributor for my blog now. thanks babe.

    Looks like a lovely place to go and relax. My mom had some of those huge shells (I can't recall what kind they are) that she used to serve shrimp scampi in for special occasions. Isn't it funny how things can make you remember things from your childhood?! It does look like you had a very enjoyable time. Tell your DH he did a good job editing.... I need to get my camera out and try some filming.

    Such a sweet video of you and your family. It's so nice to see families bonding and doing something so traditional as camping!

    I adore it!

    If I could film a movie about what I hope my life looks like one day, this would be the movie. Husband wife and kids camping and enjoying life. Perfection. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. :0) - Amy

    Hi there! Sounds awesome but this is the second time I cannot watch one of your videos because of some license/rights issue (I am guessing you are using some music that is under a special license here in Germany) and they block this video from being watched in Germany. Very sad ...

    Have a nice day though anyway,
    Susanne
