We hope you had a lovely holiday, filled with fellowship, food, family, friends and of course, fitness! Funny how so many great words start with the letter “F.”
We were so busy celebrating that we didn’t spend much time on the computer. We took our own advice about going for walks to help prevent holiday weight gain. On Thursday we celebrated Thanksgiving with part of our large family. On Friday we celebrated my youngest son’s 16th birthday with an even bigger group of people! And today? A four-mile walk in the morning, followed by cleaning!
Please enjoy some photos from the weekend. It was very sunny and hot at the top of mountain, and very cloudy and wet at the beach. Such is the strange Santa Barbara weather!
Fall leaves, flowers, pumpkin pie & sweet potato pie, and birthday cake. Decadent!
Bright, hot sun at the top of the Pass. Great for morning walks. And it was so quiet on Thanksgiving.
Some interesting rocks seen on top of the mountain and down on the beach
This is but a small bit of our large family. Oldest – 83. Youngest – 3. How cool is that?
Scenes from low tide at Hendry’s Beach in Santa Barbara. Look closely and you’ll see anemones, part of a dead dolphin, sea urchins, gulls, cormorants, sandpipers, mollusks and starfish.
This is what the cats thought about all the activity. They went into pissed off, hiding mode.
My favorite part of the holidays was having my eldest son home from university for 4 days. My second favorite part was seeing my youngest son enjoy all the birthday attention. And my third favorite part was baking and cooking for everyone.

Sounds like a fabulous weekend! What a lovely family you guys have. For me, the best part of Thanksgiving is time off from work and cooking/eating lots of delicious food.

My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is sharing a delicious meal with family and loved ones, talking about things we were thankful for during the past year. I always get teary-eyed!

Looks like a wonderful Thanksgiving! I love tide pools, so many interesting creatures to discover. I will have to take my kids up to that beach.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, all the family without the chaos of gifts.

It does seem like you had a lot of fun.
My Thanksgiving Day included one F: Fitness. I completed my first-ever organized race — a 5K turkey trot. I mostly walked, but managed to meet my goal of not finishing dead-last.
Other than that, I worked and then hit the midnight sales. (Since I work til about then, and would be up til 3, I figured why not?)

I love working out prior to a big meal, totally takes ALL THE GUILT OUT OF eating! ha ha ha!
And I agree with you, my favorite part of the holidays is when my entire family is together! Cannot wait for XMAS.

What great pictures! Looks like you had a blast, and some beautiful walks!
Here in cold New York we also enjoyed family (son home from college), food (probably too much) and fitness (walking was the activity of choice).
Thanks for the pictures.
