California trip!

 Bliss and I drove with Christa to California this weekend to

start her new nanny job.  We had a great time in sunny 

California!  Yummy crepes!

 We stayed with Bliss' dad and his wife Madeline in 

Huntington Beach.  He took us to a flea market one

morning.  

 Larry is a lot of fun!  He is a retired clown and magician,

so there is never a dull moment when you are with him!

 Awww, how cute!  Bliss and her daddy!

 Really?  Do people eat this??  Its really pokey!!

 Christa reading down on the deck outside Larry's

condo.

 We walked over to Huntington Beach and watched

the kite surfers for awhile.

 The sky was clear and it was beautiful!

 A little windy....but that is what the kite surfers like.

 The karate kid girls

 Beautiful flowers everywhere!

 Larry's condo from the back which overlooks the

Marina.

 Fun kayaking

 Even I did it.  It was fun until I had to try to climb up

onto the deck.  Then it was just FUNNY!  I resembled

a beached whale.....

 Walking around in Santa Monica

 My favorite traveling buddy!

 We met up with my cousin Marcella and her baby

Isabella in Santa Monica.  She lives pretty close by.

 Isabella loved chasing the birds!

 There was a memorial on the beach of the fallen

soldiers from Iraq.  This man was just placing

these caskets here...

 You can't see this tree very well, but it was really cool!
