October was our busiest wedding month to date so we rewarded our efforts with a mini vacation to one of my favorite places, Capitola. We started our adventure with some trick-or-treating. Opal decided our costumes. We were a fairy family :)
The next morning we went a magical place, Nisien Marks. It's a beautiful forest full of moss, twisted trees, fog, & creeks and was a complete fairy land through Opal's eyes. I've run miles through the forest's paths over the years and it was so special to return there and share the beauty with Kevin & Opal.
and the beach is a short drive away...
Opal painted...
and I got to visit one of the bakeries I used to work at, Gayle's...
