Happy New Year’s! 2014 is going to be the best ever. We started the year with a sunny drive to Point Reyes, only to end up hiking in very foggy Abbotts Lagoon. It felt like we’d been transported to Ireland.
What’s great about this hike is that it’s flat and short. I love being outdoors, but the pregnancy has zapped all my energy so we haven’t done too much hiking. I’m pretty much a couch potato which sucks because Dean and I are such active, outgoing people. We’ve watched all the episodes of Boardwalk Empire. I’ve finished two books of the Hunger Games trilogy. And Dean has cooked a lot of meals at home. But we managed this bristly cold escape.
Yay to getting out and going hiking a bit here. Loved seeing the pictures of you and Dean, too. Happy New Year, Catherine!!! 🙂
happy new year, janine. hope you are enjoying the weekend!
Great pics of everything.
Happy New Year to You.
happy new year, patrick. hope you are enjoying the weekend!
I’m sure the fresh air and the physical activity did you good. Glad you got out!
happy new year, cece. hope you are enjoying the weekend!
I think that looks like a gorgeous place for a winter hike! What a great way to ring in the new year, too. I hope you get some energy soon. Hopefully once the second trimester is in full swing you will feel less drained. Happy New Year!
thank you nikki. i’m just now starting to feel the baby “kick.” it feels a lot like i have gas, but still…major milestone. i’m just so happy to feel the baby.
Sigh, I miss Point Reyes so much!
These are gorgeous.
thanks tamara, i hope you’re outdoors enjoying your weekend. although, i’m working and watching the niners game at the same time. triple-multi-tasking with the blog too!
What a fun way to start the new year! So happy that you felt well enough to enjoy it. You look adorable as always! Here’s to a wonderful 2014.
even though i was winded, it really was nice to get some fresh air. very cold fresh air! hope you are outdoors enjoying the weekend!
Looks chilly and refreshing!
yes jean, it was super chilly, but it was also really good for me. hoping you are outdoors enjoying some sunshine this weekend.
It must have felt nice to get out there though! Hopefully you will start feeling a little less drained soon!
thank you michelle. i am actually starting to feel the baby kick. it feels a lot like continuous bubbly gas, but hey, i’ll take it. so happy for this milestone!
Wow such beautiful views. I’m also a big hiker and got out once this over the holiday. If felt so good to get some air. I think 2014 is going to be a good year too
exactly! even though i was thoroughly winded walking on a flat surface, i know it did me a world of good. hope you’re getting some outdoor sunshine this weekend.
Hopefully you’ll get some energy back soon, Catherine – but at least you got out there. I have plenty of YA books to recommend, though, if you just want to chill on the couch!
hi dana, hope you’re getting outdoors and enjoying your weekend. i’m indoors working, watching the playoffs, and blogging, so i am triply multi-tasking.
Love your hat- you look adorable. And what a great way to ring in the new year. Healthy, fun and refreshing!
thank you kate! yes, it felt so good to get some fresh air even though i was totally winded after that hike. i’m such a wuss when it comes to this pregnancy. i hope to bounce back as soon as this baby is out.
Happy happy new year, sweet pea! What beautiful pictures!! And love that you guys are such an active couple. Hiking is so much fun; once the temps finally start warming up a bit in New Jersey, I’d really like to do this more often, too.
XOXO
charlotte, hope you got outdoors and enjoyed some sunshine this weekend! even though i was winded by the hike, it did me a world of good. can’t beat the fresh air!
Before you know it you and Dean will be out hiking with a stroller or Baby Bjorn for your new family member! Great pictures of the beautiful, yet eerie looking, Point Reyes.
mo, when this baby is out, i want to be hiking all the time! hope you’re outdoors, enjoying some sunshine this weekend!
An easy outdoor adventure sounds like just what you needed! Although I much prefer outdoor adventures when it’s warm out!
rachel, it was so funny because it was sunny in the town, but then when we arrived at the hike (maybe 10 minute drive away), it was straight doom and gloom.
Happy New Year Catherine!! So glad to see you’re feeling better my friend!! You look refreshed! Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas and wishing you and yours a blessed 2014! 🙂
michell, happy new year! i hope you had a great break, it sounded like you did. 2014 is going to be a great year!
This is so adorable! Happy New Years!
thank you, it’s going to be a great year!
