10 Days in California

Pictures to follow!

Thursday: Drove out. It was a very long drive.
Friday: Recuperated. Went to the park and did not set foot in the car.
Saturday: Braved Costco in the morning, visited the Card family and their new dog in the afternoon, and went to church in the evening.
Sunday: The beach! Then I went to lunch with my VU library crew.
Monday: Visited Vanguard in the morning to show off Ella, then took Rand and John to the Santa Ana zoo. Went to Yogurtland and am now considering opening a franchise in Phoenix.
Tuesday: Hung out with Ashley, Ethan, and Caryn in the morning, and had dinner with Rosalinda and CJ.
Wednesday: Massage for me (sooo fabulous), followed by a decadent lunch at Rutabagorz with the Fabulous Foursome. Visited with Candida and Jerry in the afternoon, and Grandma McVittie arrived to meet Ella for the first time. Rand helped Grandpa make pumpkin pies.
Thursday: Turkey Day! Played at the park in the morning to burn off some energy.
Friday: Visited with Katie and Dustin.
Saturday: Drove home. Much better than the way out!
