California Pictures

So, in my last post I mentioned that the kids and I were going to California to visit for a while. Well, we did and we survived! We did have an earthquake while we were there, actually centered a few miles from our town, but alas, we were none the wiser until we watched the news.

Grandeb flew with us and stayed with us at the hotel (well, she actually spent most nights at Michelle's and took turns taking the boys for a night out!) which was a huge help.

The boys had a blast on the beach and boogie-boarding. Then we had fun cheering for Auntie Michelle in her Manhattan Beach Open qualifier and later in her matches. Go Black!





The plane on the way to L.A. Actually most of the time Jill and I sat across the aisle, but it was nice to have a small break!







Our hotel.




The amazing view from our hotel. There is a 10 foot wide strip of pavement, "the Strand," between the hotel and the sand. While beautiful, the sand is ankle deep and really hard to walk through. Especially when you are making multiple trips with multiple kids all day long!




Josh, Michelle, Jake and Scott enjoying breakfast!





Michelle's apartment. More precisely her garage. Her apartment is around the side behind the stairs. It is very, well, cozy!




Jill snoozes at the beach after a rather sandy feeding.




Josh shows off his seaweed.




Jake relaxing.




Me and Josh relaxing.
