catalina island // july 2024



For Eleanor's 10th birthday, Nate and I took her on a solo trip to Catalina Island. We had the time of our lives in the marvelous little town of Avalon. Movie night, ice cream cones, a semi-submarine tour, and even choosing her own oyster with a real pearl inside. Grand finale: parasailing — and yes, I brought my film camera 800 feet up. Photos right this way!


We love you, Eleanor pie! The fearless leader of our band of wild children and the first to try all our traditions. Thank you, my darling girl, for all the greatest adventures of my life. 

Love, Mom
