6th Anniversary

Okay, going back in time. Our 6th anniversary was on August 4th but Erin was going to be gone to the midwest so before she left we went to Carpinteria (south of Santa Barbara) and stayed at a great bed and breakfast called "The Prufrock Inn" (as in the T.S. Eliot poem that Erin has memorized) really close to the beach. It is one of the best beaches in California, apparently, and it was gorgeous. We left Ella at my parents' in Ventura County and had a great time taking in the scenery... going wine tasting near Santa Barbara...
Hanging out in the garden at our place...
...and even had a serendipitously fun time at the 'rods and roses' show.
