Visitors

We have had the best weekend. First we closed escrow on our new home. (I promise there will be pictures to come soon)

Then Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt "C" came for a visit to So Cal. They took us to a favorite haunt in Newport Beach, Villa Nova, for dinner. Grandpa's manicotti was to die for. I can't remember the last time I've been to a restaurant and was actually able to have a conversation and hear the said conversation. Most places we eat at seem to have extremely loud background music. Thanks for the memories.

Saturday we ventured to Long Beach. No trip to California would be complete without witnessing a traffic accident. We made it safe to the Aquarium. Wow, wow, wow. It was beautiful. We didn't even see all the exhibits. A seal in one of the tanks was way into the girls unicorn shoes. The girls got a little tired of all the tanks. Big Sis followed Grandma and my lead and touched a sting ray. Very cool. They loved tagging along with Aunt "C" and holding her hand. She was so patient and willing to take a slower pace for them. I must admit sometimes I forget their little legs don't travel as far as mine and I get impatient (I like to move fast).

Here are some of my favorites. I didn't get many good shots (I've only posted the good ones). I'm still learning how to work my camera. It's really hard to figure out lighting.
