LABOR DAY WEEKEND IN CALI...

to sum it up... when you are married to a

land cruiser enthusiast, you learn early on,

when you find a good deal...you jump on it!

Kenny was on the internet Friday and saw

a land cruiser he couldn't pass up. (The only

problem was it was in LA, which turned

out to be not such a problem)So we booked

our one way flights that night and left the next morning

at 6am! We are lucky Tate is a good sport and

doesn't mind traveling...

This is Tate figuring out the air conditioning
in our hotel room. It was so funny watching
him get wind blown.


We had to wait for banks to open since
it was a holiday weekend so we had 3 days
to spend at the beach. The first day we went to
Santa Monica and the next we went to Huntington.
Finding a parking spot was a small nightmare,
but the beaches were beautiful.








Like always, Tate liked eating more than anything...

It took a little bit for Tatie to want to go in

the waves, but once he worked

up the courage, he loved it. He is like a little fish,

with a tan line that would make the coopertone

baby jealous!

Kenny and Tate had fun building sandcastles

and sand turtles...

We would never make a trip to the west coast

without making at least a few trips to my favorite

places to eat, The Cheesecake Factory and

In-n-out! Animalized cheeseburger with fries and

a diet coke and my two boys...life doesn't get much better.

Tate took one look at that yummy burger

and could hardly contain himself.

I think Tate likes our new car better

than we do.

I had to get a pic with the sweetest man in the

world. His name is David. He is the owners dad

and just kinda walks around and does PR at the

dealership. I almost cried when we said goodbye to him

not only because I hold a special place in my heart for old men,

(not in a creepy way) but he was so presh to Tate and I. He bought

us drinks and gave Tatie balloons and a teddy bear...he really

is why we bought the car. WE LOVE YOU DAVID!
