CALIFORNIA

I love trips that aren't planned and this was one of them.  My mother-in-law, Jill, and I decided to go to California so we hopped in the car the next day and went.  While on the way, we called my sister-in-law Ashly, who lives in Portland to see if by chance they could come.  We thought it was a long shot but figured it was worth a shot.  Well, 3 plane tickets later they were in California as well.  We had a blast.  I can't believe how stinkin' cute the cousins are, especially when they are together.  We went to Sea World.  Oli calls it the "Sea Park".  The kids loved it.  Then we beached it the rest of the week.  There is nothing better than a giant sand box and an ocean that you can play in.
