Life's a Beach

Our plan was to spend the last day in Cali at the beach. BUT, the weather was definitely NOT beach weather, so we spent the morning with Clark at the dog park (pictures to come), and at the rose garden in Balboa Park. Parking was an issue so my mom and Sam dealt with the car, while Dia, the kids and I looked at the roses.

This was a huge Dr. Seuss looking cactus.

Notice the difference between these pictures- the kids are really happy with Dia. Me?? Well not so much.

MJ took this picture of the pink/purple rose

After Balboa Park we headed out to the beach. Mark was such a trooper. He was the only one that would get in the water with the girls.

The rest of us huddled on the beach.

After the beach we went and ate at Anthony's - one of my family's fav places to eat.

This is our attempt at a family picture.

We had such a great time in Cali. We are forever grateful to the parents who made it possible!

I had to get a picture of the agapanthas (the flowers behind the cute girls) they are one of my favorites, and we had them at our wedding.
