Pacific Ocean...Here We Come!!!

 We landed at LAX early Friday morning, where my sister Teresa was waiting for us at the airport!  The warm weather was a welcome change after the negative temps we were having on the mountain.
 On the way home we stopped by the old neighborhood so i could show Jordyn the house i grew up in...quite a change from the cabin we live in now.  We headed over to Denise's house in San Pedro with a lovely view of the ocean...naturally the good year blimp put in an appearance. 
 After unpacking, we were all anxious to go to the beach...so after a hearty meal from Prontos (super yummy Mexican food courtesy of Mom...thanks Mom), Teresa drove us down to Cabrillo beach for some boogie board fun! 
 Jordyn and Justin couldnt get in the water quick enough!  It was a little cool and breezy, but it was soooo refreshing!




















After a gorgeous day at the beach, we went back to Denise's house to hop in the hot tub!  James was finally home from school, so he joined us for a good soak!  The little cousins had fun catching up...after all, it had been 3 years since they saw each other last, so they had lots to talk about...
mostly Minecraft and other computer games. :)  
 I enjoyed a nap in the afternoon, and then Chucky entertained us in the man cave (the garage)...where Justin jammed on the guitar, and the rest of us enjoyed cocktails!  Apparently this is where him and all his buddies normally hang out, but tonight the adults took over the joint, ruining any speck of "cool" it previously had!  :)

What a great first day of vacation!
