from 110 to 65.....

california.....good times good times. we have been making it a point to go there atleast once during the summer for the past 3 years. we have a favorite spot on the beach, a nice hotel to stay at, and even managed to make our way to the santa monica pier.

do you know Hare Krishnas still cruz the piers? (that would be them to the left.... i used my teenager as an excuse to photograph them)

forrest gump lost his shoes...my tween found them on the pier.

its really hard to go through a 40 degree temperature change. california was nice...cloudy and cool...but nice. it did hinder our beach plans a little, but there is so much more to see.

hope you are all enjoying your summer and taking a vacation.....even if its a small one.
