I Heart Cali

If we didn't live in Utah, we'd most likely live in California.
Every time we go there we talk about moving there.
We flew to Long Beach with JetBlue and got super lucky when the very kind lady that checked us in put us all in the very first row.
She probably pitied us, traveling with four kids, and loads of suitcases.
We each had our own TV, we checked one bag each for free, and they served us drinks AND a SNACK, a rarity for most airlines nowadays.
I wish JetBlue flew more places.
My mother-in-law has a gift of making her home very cozy and inviting. This was the very comfortable king size bed the "husbird" and I had the pleasure of sleeping on.
It is the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on. I want one.
Our bathroom was gorgeous, with plenty of towels, lotion, and soap.

As if that's not enough, just look at the view from my in-laws house.
There is a golf course behind their house that goes all the way to the ocean.
It only takes seven minutes to walk to the beach from their house.

On the walk to the beach is a beautiful pond,

lush green lawn, and trees.
Here we are at the beach.(the "nestlings" doing what they do best, play in the sand)
("T" and my niece playing in the water)
Oh what fun!
(Cousins jumping the waves)
(Miss "A"playing in the sand)
The area my in-laws live in is just magical,
too bad we can't quit our jobs, move in with them,
and just hang out at the beach all day.
Now that would be the life.


If you want to plan a vacation to this area my brother-in-law has an amazing website,
southerncaliforniariviera.com.

  6. I had to laugh about travelling with 4 kids and lots of luggage. We always get the funniest stares (and comments) from people when we travel. We always take our max allowed lugage as well so that we can stock up on supplies. 6 kids 8 checked luggage and 10 carry on's. A few people have told us that if we only had a couple more kids they could make a tv show out our life here in Asia. To funny
    BTW loved the pictures Boan will have to show me how he does it. I'll have to set up a web page so you all can see our travels
