Hiking at San Elijo Lagoon

It was a chilly afternoon in San Diego so it was perfect for a hike near the beach.


Less than a mile away is the beach in Encinitas.

Michael likes to try out special effects with our camera.

Our brand new backyard.

This is the "before" picture featuring the world's most beloved picket fence and very thirsty grass.

We removed the picket fence, added a privacy fence, and replaced the dead grass with pavers.

We put in a stairwell to provide access to the patio from the living room. (The door will hopefully be installed this week since right now it is a stairway to nowhere:)

To complete the backyard, we found some great outdoor furniture on craigslist.
