Sea and Land Adventure

Ok, I know it's time to change my blog.

Emily wrote an awesome

day-by-day recap of our trip on her blog

so I'm just going to add some pictures. The girls by the fountain in front of our hotel in Long Beach.

Where did that truck come from? Loved the birds of paradise that were everywhere.

Watching the girls get their pictures taken in one of those photo booths.

Is she wondering about what's ahead

or starting to feel a little seasick?

the birds' favorite island near Catalina Island

Flowers all over the place in October! Our ship out in the harbor

The beach in Ensenada, Mexico. We had to drive around

the point of land in the distance

to get to LaBufadora

Things we saw along the way . . . a truckload of onions,
the army in trucks with their machine guns,
and Costco!
Things we saw when we got there . . . a Mexican buy playing a flute,kayakers in the ocean,
the spray of the blowhole,

and a fun real authentic Mexican restaurant.

Back on land, California Adventure had the

cutest Halloween decorations!

So did Disneyland!
Even Minnie had a costume

High School Musical 3and the cast of "UP"

Who is that crazy driver in front of me?

Loved, loved, loved it all!!!
