Beaches

Sorry it's taken me so long. Joe, Monika and Martin got to California early Friday morning. We were staying in Valencia and wanted to take Joe and Monika to a beach. (Martin was more interested in sleeping after 12 hours of driving.) The closest beach was Ventura. The drive there was beautiful. We saw lots of orange trees. Ventura was my least favorite beach we went to. It was cold and kind of a blah type of day, but still beautiful.

Saturday was the wedding. I'll do a seperate post for those pictures.

Sunday Gayla was flying home so we went to Santa Monica Pier and Rodondo Beach again to show Joe and Monika before her flight left.

Monika liked Santa Monica she said it was her beach.

I like these next two pictures of Martin and his parents.

My hair is super crazy in this picture, but it's still kind of a cute one of us together.

This is my favorite picture of Martin from our trip. He's also wearing the awesome shirt I got him in Disneyland!

When we went to the beaches with my mom she insisted that we had to put our feet in at every one even if it was cold. So I made everyone at least get in for a minute.

I told Martin not to get his pants wet, but he went out a little to far and a wave caught him.

Then we went to Rodondo Beach again. Gayla and Monika got a pearl put into a necklace while we were there too.

Here is Joe pretending he's a Baywatch hunk.
It was such a gorgeous day. So perfect. It makes me want to go back!

Martin talking to the crabs on the Pier.

Martin insisted he bury my leg. He was so cute. He had never been to a real beach before. It was fun to share it with him.
