We had such a great time on our first family vacation to California. It was so good to see our friends and visit some of our favorite places. We enjoyed such a warm welcome and are so thankful to our friends for letting us crash at their home, use their baby equipment, and making time to visit. Now we are back to missing them and looking forward to the next visit! Here are some highlights...
Adam got some quality time with Shannon while Phil and I enjoyed a date night by the beach. This photo is a little grainy as it was taken with a webcam, but I still love it. It is so fun to see Adam play and laugh with people that have been such a huge part of our lives. Thank you, Shannon, for giving Phil and me a night out!
We really miss all the unique restaurants in LA, and we tried to hit as many of our favorites as possible. Here we are for brunch at Good Stuff on our first day. Yes, it was "good stuff."
Our friends, Chris and Anna, were so gracious in letting us stay with them and even have people over while they were out of town for a couple of days. We had some friends over to hang out and order pizza from our favorite El Segundo pizza place. We were missing Chris and Anna, though :(
Our friends John and Lauren were there with their new little daughter, Kara. It was so good to meet her - she is precious! Phil and Kara having a little chat.
Lauren, Kara, and me. It's funny, I can't believe Adam was ever that small!
This was fun. The green and black ladies...even Kara matches!
Some of the guys came back for some poker action later that night. These guys are crazy! L to R are Billy, David, Dave, and Phil.
It made our hearts very happy to visit our old church on Sunday for worship. We miss Journey of Faith and the people in it. It was great to feel God moving in that place again. Adam went to the nursery and loved it. Here we are waiting for worship to begin. L to R: Jen, Dave, me, Megan, Phil
We had lunch on the pier in Manhattan Beach. It was a beautiful day. Of course, Adam was trying to grab everything in sight. Much too busy to smile for the camera!
Mama sure was having a great time, though!
Stay tuned for even more CA fun!
