Memorial Day!

It was a beautiful, warm day here on the Central Coast! We lounged around then headed out to enjoy the sunshine.

Our friends put together a party at Legacy Park so we went over and BBQ'd, chatted with friends, hung out in the sun, and watched the kids play.

After that fun time, we went up to Pismo to walk around and watch the crazies that come out on the holiday weekends!

Oh my little squishyface :)

Happy girl with Momma & Papa!

Love her so ♥

I am so grateful to the men and women who serve and have served to keep this wonderful country free! Thank you, thank you.

Visitors!

Daddy & Pam came out from Houston for my graduation & stayed with us.

They brought Pam's son, Jared who is now my step-brother. Crazy that I have step-silblings, huh? Still haven't met the other two!

We took them to Pismo Beach & got the best clam chowder in the world at Splash, of course!

Watched the lovely sunset from the pier...

And Ada stopped traffic all the way there and back. Look at her grip, it's like she's on a roller coaster!

The best picture ever taken by a stranger. I managed to get a sober guy who could hold the camera straight this time!

Grandpa & Ada...as she holds on for dear life!

We went to Sycamore Mineral Springs after this & relaxed in a hot tub. Ada loved it, the little water babe.

Thanks for coming you guys, glad we could show you around our beautiful area and spend time with you!

Beach Time!

We went surfing at Pismo yesterday. It was FREEZING! I could see my breath while in the water. Matt said I went up 100 cool points for getting in the water that day. Ha! It wasn't so bad -- it was just getting out of my huge eskimo jacket and into my damp wetsuit. Brrrrr. It was really fun though! I found my own little place and named it Kara's Break in true Marc Miller fashion ;) I'm getting better (and less sore) each time I go.

Frost on the windshield...


Full moon!

Want the best clam chowder in the world? Go here!

Perfect...

Did not want to take off the jacket at this point!

Slowly warming up...

Breakfast!

Surfing!

Matt & I met up with his dad at Pismo on Sat. morning. So early. I fought getting out of my warm cozy bed...but it was such a good day out in the water! Definitely worth it :)

P.S. I just got some booties and they are AWESOME! I'm such a ninja in them.

Beach in January.

Last Thursday was such a beautiful day! I came home from work and checked the weather at Avila Beach. It was 85 degrees!
I quickly shaved my legs, grabbed my beach bag and camera & was on my way!







I love California :)
I picked Matt up from work in Grover and we went to Splash in Pismo Beach for dinner. Best clam chowder in the world!
It was a good day.

Sandy's Rendezvous at Pismo

Have you ever seen a happier pup? 

On Friday I took Miss Sandra Lucille Johnson- Miller to the beach for some fun.

She chased seagulls, ran in the salt water, and made friends with everyone on the beach.

Frolicking in the surf

Showing off her Chinese Shar-pei side!

She loved the wind blowing her ears back.

Pooped puppy!
