Ronald Reagan Library & Monterey, CA.

6th post of vacation This picture is made of 'Jelly Beans'
piece of the 'Berlin Wall'

Cannery Row in Monterey

What cute little Pirates!

Sea Lions were about!

Don't take a short walk off
a long Pier...
The Ronald Reagan Library was close by
to Calabasas where Phil and Carola live, but
the next day we drove to Monterey and spent
the night before heading over to Yosemite!


Sea World in San Diego...

5th post of vacation Sea World in San Diego
I bought this poncho to stay dry- it did come in handy for the ride!
Poor Hailey- she wasn't so lucky...

Lunch break with a 'Talking Cow'

Spinning tea cups = upset stomach!


Another fun day- we got sunburned and sore feet but
all part of the memories!

This was a wonderful evening- everyone did a great job! We were so proud of
Andrea and this accomplishment. She gave a talk and bore a strong testimony!
Alot of the past posts have been about Andrea as much has happened. Now we
are headed out on the 9th to take her to BYU in Utah. If you don't see me on for
abit that is why- we return the 27th (without Andrea). Which I'm sure will hit
me then. So if you're just now getting on-- scroll down as there is more!
