California: Missing the Beauty of Big Sur

Tonight I said to Kenny, ‘When do we leave for California?’ I swear, it already seems like it was 5 years ago that we were there and I haven’t even been home for a solid week yet.

Though each morning I’ve gotten to see the giant pinecone I brought back for Chloe in the middle of the kitchen table and it makes me smile. I’m not ready to let the feelings fade away yet but each time i reach out to get a firm hold on them, it seems like they are a little more gauzy and slip through my fingers just a little bit easier. I guess that’s why I keep going through these 750 pictures I took, trying to keep the vividness.

‘….I miss you…
I’m goin’ back home to the West Coast.
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase…’
