Magical Manzanita Kicks of the Holidays

We drove to the beach for the holiday weekend. Manzanita had a tree lighting ceremony and a crafts fair in their little community center. They even had a firetruck out front and let the kids go inside -- Frances's DREAM.  I don't know what it is about that place, but I find it magical and relaxing and so wonderful. Gordon came down for the day too - which made it extra special for the kiddos.
