California

Well, Peyton, Sophie and I went to LA last weekend to visit my sister Teresa and to meet her new husband, Julious.  It was a great although tiring trip.  We went to the Santa Monica Pier, a Crepe restaurant, Hollywood Boulevard, Disneyland, the LeBrea Tar Pits museum, the Santee Ally Garment district for some shopping, and then to the beach to body surf.  The beach was great, the water was warmer than in the Atlantic ocean to be sure.  The problem was there were sand fleas for about 20 feet into the shore so you had to run across them and they would bite your feet!  That sort of scared the girsl to death!  It was so fun to catch up with my sister and realize just how much we do have in common.  Great trip.  It is good to be home also and see all the pets and to get geared up for school, starts Friday for Peyton and Monday for Sophie.  Rich comes home from Singapore on Tuesday the 23 so then we will be back to "normal".
