Memorial Day at Moonstone Beach

We decided to spend our Memorial holiday at Moonstone Beach in Cambria. Just a half hour drive away from us, this beach is one of the best. Beautiful views, rarely crowded, sand and tide pools for the kids…plus, the weather was a perfect 70 sunny degrees with a breeze.

Jesse and I also love this beach because it’s partly responsible for our relationship. We had a youth group gathering here 11 years ago, and there was something about the way he was playing guitar in the sunset…we started dating less than 3 months later…and the rest is history, or something like that.

With 5 boys (our 10 year old brought a friend along), it was quite the noisy adventure!

What did you do to commemorate the holiday?

    That sounds like an amazing way to spend the day. I’m still recovering from a weekend party, believe it or not. Playing hostess wears me thin. We spent time outside, I got some time behind my camera and had mini photo shoots with the kids. Then we grilled out. Simple evening for us. I also reflected on the meaning of this day, as a Veteran and as a person who knows someone who has made the ultimate sacrifice.

      Good for you, taking time to reflect. This day is a hard one for me, as I have two younger brothers serving right now (Army and Navy) and can’t bear to think about losing either one, or what that would be like.

      It’s very gorgeous! It’s kind of fun living (for now) in a vacation destination!
