Back to Cali, August 2016

Although Seattle and San Diego aren't exactly close, we decided to take advantage of already being on the West Coast by flying down to San Diego for a few days. While we didn't manage to do everything we traditionally do on our summer visits, we packed in quite a bit during those days!

We went to the beach a LOT, thanks to Danny's newfound love of the ocean. He made for a great companion for Clare, which helped in the absence of the cousins.

 I reunited with my oldie but goodie friends (sans Espe, who was moving).

 We enjoyed the wonders of the Hotel Del Coronado on our annual day with Parlin.

 We spent a terrific day at Disneyland with Jen and her girls.

 More beach!!

One of our beach visits was to Laguna Beach, which Clare requested after seeing on Pinterest several months ago. It turned out to be a great outing for we girls while Danny and Grampy had a guy's day that included kayaking, sushi and watching "Jurassic World."

The week FLEW by, but it was great knowing we really took advantage of our time there. And after 16 days on the road, it was time to head home. Until next year!
