it’s probably pretty obvious by now that coffee + the beach are two of our favorite things. not surprisingly, both of these things are often involved in our days spent together. several weeks ago we headed down to encinitas for the day. i really love this cute little town, their gorgeous beaches, and their cute coffee shops (namely pannikin). it’s even better when reis’ day off lands on a weekday because we get places to ourselves and don’t have to deal with crowds!

the weather is starting to feel more like fall in these parts and that probably means beach days won’t happen as much…but i won’t say the same about our coffee consumption. i could not be more excited for this season! it’s my first fall with temps below 85* in the past four years so i say bring on the cold weather, layers, and hot drinks.
