Another Valentines day has come and gone, and Brett and I found ourselves in California once again...only this time down south in Bonita where we met up with Brett's brothers to stay with his aunt. In fact, after two years of being married, this trip was the first time I had gotten to meet Brett's Aunt Celia. She was a fabulous hostess (kept us very well fed and sheltered), and showed us a little bit of Southern California. We took a trip out to the beach and enjoyed our time together.


One thing I knew before meeting Celia, was that she knows how to keep a house. I had to take a few photos of some of her fantastic design ideas.


I was impressed with the inside of the house, but the garden is where I wanted to spend most of my time!


We will definitely be taking another trip out there to see more (and to take advantage of Celia's cozy home and hospitality)!
