Many photos few words. I’m in Southern California spending time at the beach with family, eating meals with family, attending a bridal shower for Katie with family. Flag ceremony with my sister-in-law and Katie. Breakfast at Julienne with sisters, sister in laws, nieces, and daughters. Birthday party at the beach for my youngest brother and sister (twins). Don’t tell them I told you they are turning 48. How does that happen? My baby brother and sister are 48! That means I’m getting old. Disneyland with family. Sheesh…I’m going to need a vacation when I get back home.
Now I’ll just breathe in all this beautiful lavender and relax a bit…
On our way to our next lavender farm we stopped at a U-Pick Berry Farm. I couldn’t resist taking a photo of this little girl in the berry patches…

Port Williams Lavender







Our next stop will be Purple Haze Lavender Farm. Hope you are all having a nice weekend.
Wow. You will definitely need a vacation when your SoCal visit is over!
I’m loving all these lavender views…and seeing you three having fun. So…you are in So Cal, and I’m departing So Cal tomorrow for a week in the northwest corner of Arkansas…100 degrees and 50% humidity – yikes! Enjoy your time with family!
Glad you are have family fun. What a great summer you are having!
Thanks for sharing all these fabulous photos of your visits and family fun. It was absolutely uplifting to catch up on recent posts. Sure wish I could have smelled the lavender through my laptop. Will have to go out and get me some, lol!
Enjoy your vacation, Ellen. It looks beautiful!
What a sweet photo of that little berry picker! I actually did a search after your last post about the lavender farm for sale. When I came to the part about finding workers to harvest it, cultivating, running the store, etc…I decided it’s probably a bit more work than it appears to the casual observer! Have a fun trip!
Oh my…what a great bunch of photos! Truly loved the post today.
I thought of you yesterday when I picked some of our lavender for my daughter, who was home sick from work.
Your family holiday sounds like a whole lot of fun!
With your full summer schedule it’s a good thing you went to the calming lavender fields! Keep on having fun and enjoying all the wonderful family and friends!
I’m loving all the lavendar photos. Makes me feel like I was along too.
I would need a vacation from a vacation doing all that you are but it sounds so fun.
