Our Life in Alaska and Beyond

Get ready for a ton of Cali posts! We spent a week in Southern California and we enjoyed every minute! It was so nice to get away and enjoy so much beautiful sunshine (sadly we already losing so much daylight here in Alaska) and so much family time! We stayed at the condo with my parents and Chrissy, and Scott's parents even came for a few days too. It was a blast! Ruby had fall break, so she didn't miss too much school, (She's still loving first grade!) and we got to enjoy Halloween there as well. :)

We left our home around 9 pm Thursday, 10/25, and arrived in San Diego at about 10 am the next day. It was a long night of travel, but luckily the girls were good and pretty much slept the whole time we were in the air. Grandma and Grandpa B. picked us up at the airport, then we went back to the condo and had a delicious breakfast made by Grandma. Later on that day we wasted no time in getting our vacation started and we drove up to Balboa Island to meet my parents' friends that live there. It was so fun! (Pics from Balboa in next post.) Before driving to Balboa Island we first made a quick stop at Roger's Gardens, a very nice greenhouse and garden shop, with cute, fancy little boutique shops, too. It was fun to look around, and with all that pretty California light, I pretty much took pics wherever we went. Enjoy!

It was so warm the whole week we were in Cali. We loved it!
