Show tonight @The Clubhouse!

Port Hueneme with the Oakes

Soooo...the bulk of the tour shows ended on Sunday, July 19th and I had a week's break before the next show.
Josh flew out for that week and we had a whirlwind vacay together, visiting various family along the Ca coast.

Josh's dad and his dad's wife Dorothy live part time in Port Hueneme where they work during the week (near Ventura-southern California) and part time in Cayucos, on the Central Coast where we were from, and where most of our other family lives.

The girls had never been to their Port Hueneme house, so we stopped there overnight on our way up to SLO from L.A.

It was SO beautiful, and their house is walking distance to parks and the beach, so of course the girls had a blast.

Monday afternoon we walked to the park with the dogs, fed the ducks and geese, walked to the beach and then got soaking wet!
The girls couldn't resist being on the beach for the first time in a year without jumping right in, despite the fact that they didn't have their bathing suits on.

There are so many pictures, I'm just going to post them all and keep the words to a minimum:

Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Oakes, we loved our time in Hueneme!

(If you're on Twitter or Facebook, it is SUPER helpful/awesome when you update your status letting everyone know you just downloaded the album - it helps spread the word!)

*Summer tour kicked off at my favorite East Nashville spot (Ugly Mugs) with an album release show featuring Eric Brown, Katy Bowser and Sandra McCracken.
Thanks to all who came out to listen and celebrate!
