Tim and I at Avila Beach

I had such a wonderful time reconnecting from family members I haven't seen in about 15 years or more. They live in the San Francisco area and they are second cousins and we just really aren't that close. But we want to change things. We have our kids now and have more in common. Fun people and really nice I have to say. Relaxing weekend at a hotel right on the beach and being February not crowded at all! Rainy but the sun shined at times and the weather didn't interrupt anything. We swam in the heated pool, played on the beach, ate out, and just hung out in the lobby and each others rooms. We had 12 rooms rented so we were thankful to have family next to us because the first night my 20 month old would not go to sleep and was crying at midnight. Anyways, after eating sooo good last week I think my band is tighter. I had to really watch what I ate and just basically picked at food all weekend. Didn't eat too much and didn't PB. I am going grocery shopping today and planning our meals. Have a great Monday!!! I hope all you back east are home and don't have to dig out to go to work today.
