Travels. Traveling. Driiiiiivinggggg.... Part 1

FIRST STOP - L.A., Baby!
It was a Sunday morning, I was having coffee with Shannon and she suggested I drive back to L.A. with her on Monday.  This was about a week before I was scheduled to drive with the kids, my mom, sister-in-law and nephew to Colorado.  I laughed out loud at the thought of adding a week to my vacation plans.

Then I got home and thought about it for real.  A week in L.A.. A chance to go to a warm beach.  Maybe let Erin see the silverback gorilla at the zoo again. Hmmm... and Shannon has a pool.  It was a fabulous idea after all!   
We learned new things...

caught frogs...

spent lots of quality time together...

swam and swam and swam...

were the cutest babes on the beach near Malibu...

played tourist...

and made dreams come true!

Thank you, Rosenbaums!
