SpringVegLA2016: Vegas to LA then Home

The drive from Vegas to Santa Monica was about four hours. We drove past these cool solar fields. There were three tall, glowing, towers. They were super bright. Surrounding them were fields of solar panels.



We made it - Santa Monica!
The is the where we walk out to the beach from our new hotel. It is the stairs I want to ollie - tiny little two sets. I could probably just lift my nose and go. Maybe this summer :-)



Walkway through the sand to the beach. This is where the boy and I would spend our sunsets making tunnels and roads in the sand.



Story time
Snack / cartoon time


We met Pat, Pam, Ryder, Emma, Olive & Otis at the park in Manhatten Beach.
Apres surf burrito, beer, and sun on the step time.
His first tattoo - he wanted me to wash it off right away.

Fun night at the Santa Monica pier.








Morning skate at Natas Lot



The boy is chasing a squirrel from palm tree to palm tree... like the dogs.




Then... we had to drive home :-(
But the Easter Bunny was in the Park at Kelso!
And we got to skate the Kelso Skate Park - love these mornings :-)

Vegas Annibirthversry Days: May 16 - 20, 2013 - The Boy's First Flight

My birthday started on Wednesday when we were still in Vancouver. Jonny, Christian, and I went for a walk and chill. Jonathon got his hairs trimmed up and we sat at a couple of different city spots and enjoyed the different flavours and views. Somewhere along our travels we lost Sophie the giraffe and wish her well in her new life. I envision her with a cute little puppy squeaking happily. Christian's new favourite things to put in his mouth are water bottles.... and... Gatorade bottles...  At one of our chill spots Jonny gave me my birthday presents... I scored! I also won ten bucks on crossword scratch and wins. It was a great day that started with swimming and ended with beers with G in Gastown. None of it was planned it just was one of those nice sunny I am leaving for Vegas on my birthday tomorrow days.  The next morning came too soon. A hang over is never fun and it is even less fun with a baby that wakes up and is ready to go and is smiling at you an...

California Toddler Tripping: Vancouver - Langley - Seattle - Seaside

We knew that road tripping with a toddler wasn't going to be always pleasant - but we also knew that it would be way better than being on a plane - at least with our toddler. Christian is one and a half on this trip and just like last year he went through some new changes just to mess with us. Luckily, we are a powerful team and we were able to overcome these challenges … so far!  Our journey started in Vancouver. We stopped at the skate park to drop off used shoes and decks. Some kid is going to be happy. (or bum?)  Next stop: Langley! We had a visit with Grandma and Grandpa. I love this picture :-)  Christian likes Grandpa's cars - watch out!  Next stop: Seattle!  Light rail to the Crab Pot.  The Crab Pot - we made it and we ATE it!  Christian is scoring with the toys on this trip. Now I really understand why I got new toys when my parents took us on road trips!  Sunset Seattle squirm time. ...
