new years eve...

new years eve is one of those holidays that i dont get very excited for... it seems to be a lot of hype to end within one second...

but...

this year [last year] was so much fun!!

we started the whole weekend doing fun things because of having visitors... 

one in particular was fun to meet... jasons girlfriend candace came... and now she is his fiance!!!!

we are so excited for jason and candace 

[the beauty to the far right]

we started the day with a trip to cabrillo national monument for some tide pooling...

and the point loma lighthouse [in the very distant background at the top of the hill]...

it was beautiful and so fun to be outside hiking... 

the point loma lighthouse... 

my most favorite part of the day...

shauna had the great idea for all of us to jump in the ocean at midnight...

it was freezing!!!  i couldnt feel my feet for a while... but so fun!!!

i dont think new years will ever be the same without a quick dip in the ocean at midnight...

i am pretty sure that the air was a lot lot colder than the ocean...

frozen... but invigorated...

 

new years day...

afternoon at the park...

and a ride along the boardwalk...

then watching the sunset...

sometimes i forget that i live in such a beautiful place...

i am spoiled!!!
