The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated reviewer book blog, and is a post to recap my bookish and non-bookish things from the last week. I'm also linking up to The Sunday Salon hosted by Deb Nance @Readerbuzz.
Happy Sunday!
I didn't post last weekend because I was super busy with work. This week I'm on vacation. We've been on the Pacific Coast in Trinidad and now we're a bit south in Mendocino, California where we've met up with my sister and her husband. It's been beautiful and relaxing. We've seen redwood giants over 2000 years old, whales, pelicans and otters frolicking on the beach!
