trip to Humboldt

I have been feeding my organizing addiction lately by going through pictures on the computer and this leads to blogging.  It lets me reflect and realize how blessed and beautiful my life is, not always something I think about during the hustle and bustle of day to day hoopla. So, back in August a dear friend was married at the Scotia Inn (love you Nicole) in Humboldt so we made the trip. The wedding was beautiful.  We had so much fun enjoying the company of friends.  While in my home town I introduced Nic to a few yummy traditions including Tri Tip sandwiches at Porter Street and hot dogs from Red Front in Ferndale.  We went to old town Eureka Saturday night and out to Centerville Beach on Sunday morning.  It might sound strange but that beach is a part of me and I carry so many memories of family, friends and feelings I've had there.  There is not another shore where the waves roar so powerful and though it's usually cold, drippy and deserted, it welcomes me.  As you can see Gavin enjoyed himself there as well.  Digging in the sand and dirt is his activity of choice.  I loved growing up so close to the ocean.  Alltogether this was a great vacation. Thank you Humboldt for being a great place to grow up and  return to visit, forever home in my heart.
