what do you mean: why is it called by-the-sea??

we went to pebble beach & carmel-by-the-sea on valentine's weekend with my parents & steph for the pro-am & some fun strolling downtown. we went last year to the tournament & i would just like to submit that i'm the greatest wife ever to give up 2 v days in a row to go watch golf all day. it is a phenomenal course (i guess that's obv) & a fun way to spend the day. weather was perfection & no celebrity run-ins this year... :(
okay seriously?! nothing is as enchanting as carmel. nothing!! every shop, boutique, cottage, & eatery is overflowing with quaint charm. one of my favorite places! we got to browse through antique shops, check out delicate china, french furniture stores, some gorgeous clothing displays, & we even bought some beautifully illustrated children's books, signed for ellery by the artist.
ellers shoe shopping. so funny, seriously the only thing she cared to peruse. the one clothing item that i truly have a love affair with. chief was just thrilled to see that i've passed that one to his daughter so quickly. :)
in front of the little cottage of sweets. i want to own this shop & live & die here. check out that roofline! not to mention the smell... AH i will always need more toffee & sugar comas in my life.
 these sorts of activites don't particularly rouse austin into a giddy frenzy but he's such a good sport... most of the time.
this picture is my ultimate bestest at the moment.

later we went to a fancy pants restaurant & had some fancy nourishment. while we waited for our dishes they brought out a hunk of pizza dough for ellery to play with. pretty original way to shut kids up in your posh place! everyone kept getting mad at me for stealing it from e to play with it. thanks for the pebble tickets daddy & for a fun day everybody!
