TGIF and welcome to Nature Friday! Today I want to show you how Mama and I went from being frustrated and sad, to being happy and smiley faced all thanks to getting out in nature!

The past month has been a rough allergy month for me, a sad month for Mama and then, on top of that, there are all the California wildfires and resulting power outages. Mama and I needed a break, big time! As you can imagine, Mama jumped at the chance when I asked her to take me on an adventure!

I put on my fall bandana and told Mama we needed to go to our happy place....can anyone guess where that may be??

Just over these weeds Mama....

Aaaaahhhhhhh, smell that salt air! If you guessed the ocean was our happy place, you were 100% right! If it looks familiar, that's because it's the same place Mama took Rosy for her birthday! The northern part of Route 1, also known as the Pacific Coast Highway!

Here is the Point Cabrillo Light Station! I can see why Rosy and Mama like this place so much. What a pretty light against the blue sky!

We were lucky enough to basically have most of the park to ourselves. We sat at a picnic table for a little snack and photo shoot and then we headed out for a walk.

We found a nice trail right along the bluffs that had a wonderful view...

Both Mama and I felt the blahs lifting as we walked and listened to the ocean sounds.

We saw some beautiful nooks and crannies filling with water as the tide came in.

Before I knew it, it was time to head home. But the ocean had done its magic!

Mama and I both left smiling from ear to ear!
We sure hope you all find your happy place this weekend!
