Vacation to California

We had a great time traveling in California from August 1-8. Each year, Chad's sister Tanja and her family get a beautiful condo in Oceanside that is less than a block from the ocean. We were able to stay with them, and we had a wonderful time! Here are some of the highlights...



It's not spelled the same, but we still thought it was pretty cool that our condo was on Tait street!

We got to "Dine With Shamu" while we were there. 5 killer whales swam next to us while we ate lunch. We talked to the trainers and learned a bunch.

What a fun trip. Sand, water and whales. I bet the kids had a blast.

What a fun trip -- your little guys are getting so big! Tate looks so grown up. Could he be that big already? I'm glad you were able to enjoy the beach. I sure miss it and wish I had gone more while we lived so close!
