Bath Time Baby

Everyday is Thanksgiving around here. Pretty much since we met each other, Heleen and I have been in the habit of counting our blessings and noting how lucky we are. Having a baby has dramatically increased these feelings of gratitude. It is so much fun to share little adventures with Evan, to watch his wonderment as he takes in the scenery and to see how much of a kick perfect strangers get by having some baby time.

This past weekend, we were able to drive south down the coast to visit with friends in Monterey and further still into Big Sur and the Esalen Institute. Esalen is world renowned for it's epic beauty, hot sulfur baths teetering on the edge of the Pacific, and enlightened community.

Baby E made quite a splash in the hot pools! We ran a family bath so he could enjoy swimming around- such a little fish that one. He looooves being in the water. We enjoy bath time at home on a near daily basis, but nothing beats the views down in Big Sur!
