Tomorrow morning, Nadia and I head up the coast on the train to Carpinteria. I'm looking forward to the train ride, hoping that my travel companion is able to exhibit just a wee little tiny bit of self control for the five-hour ride up. Chris and The Bigs will come up on Friday.
Carpinteria's annual Avocado Festival is this weekend and it's good fun. If your'e in Southern California and are looking for something to do, head on up. More avocado stuff than you could stick a shake at. Carpinteria is a sweet little coastal town off Hwy 101 between Ventura and Santa Barbara. Like, totally, dude. And the Amtrak runs right through it, just blocks from the festival.
Full details and photos from our excursion and all the avocado loveliness will surely follow early next week.
And how about a photo? Miss Nadia, this afternoon, in her birthday suit, holding tightly to my lens cap, watching a few minutes of Little Einstein. Love the lighting on her face.
That photo is too sweet!
You are one brave soul to attemp that long of a trip with a little one. I try to avoid a 5 minute dash to the grocery store with mine!
