California, Here We Come!

Zach was so good on the airplane. Luckily both flights were pretty empty so we had our own row! (I did kind of miss nursing Zach while smashed between an overweight smelly man and a cranky woman though! There will be other flights.)
Zach's first adventure in CA was a nice dip in the "warm tub." He was so relaxed he fell asleep right on me! That doesn't happen very often.
Later Justin joined us down there and we all went to Balboa Island. That is where my parents met. Justin got an honorary Balboa Ferry t shirt to commemorate this special day. We went on a little harbor cruise (up here in canada it is a harbour) where they showed us all the multi-million dollar houses and yachts and who owned them. We also went out to the ocean and saw some sea lions on a bouy. It was fun.
Here is a classic ocean picture. That is a boat, a pelican, and the buoy with all of the lazy sea lions basking in the sun on it.
To finish off the day we walked around the island and went to the Boat Parade. There were very creatively decorated houses and boats. It was fun.

We never went to the boat parade in Palm Beach while we lived there. I wanted to but didn't want to do the crowd. Was the Newport boat parade crowded? What a fun day you all had.

You guys look so great! I wish we were in the same part of CA! It would have been fun to see you guys. Happy New Year!
