Two Grandmas and one lucky little girl

(photos taken with a variety of cameras.  lol)

Sunny SLC                                                                         Gloomy Long Beach (burned off by noon, tho.)

I know she was only gone about 2 weeks but I sure missed her face!

  Just hanging out and enjoying the California sunshine while everyone else was at work.  

Loved Jody's garden...

 ...and watching Marley ride her beach cruiser. 

I think Hunter enjoyed watching her, too.  ;)

A couple of days later, we were off the Disneyland/California Adventure!  

Arrived just in time for one of the parades.  Yay!

Waiting patiently in all the lines.

Have to admit... I did NOT like this Ferris wheel..  

Her favorite ride - Radiator Springs Racers!  Such a cute ride we waited in line twice!

The next day - the beach!  

First stop, yummy burgers and malts at Ruby's.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to want to do this again next year.  And maybe baby brother will be big enough to go along, too! 

2nd Annual Road Trip Pt 1 - Glass Beach/Fort Bragg California

After our road trip last year to Mt Rushmore and surrounding areas, 

my sister and I decided we wanted to take a road trip every year.  

This year we decided upon the 

Northern California/Southern Oregon coast.

It was so beautiful and we had a great time.

Let me say, a road trip of this type requires a lot of time in the car.  But we were prepared.  We packed a bunch of snacks (some even healthy, I might add), some books on 'tape' and headed out.

We started out from Utah and drove to Reno, NV for the first, long leg of the trip. 

Salt Flats

Our first stop in California.  Glass Beach!

I just love the ocean!
