Sunset over the Pacific!

After a day of exploring we heading down the road about 10 blocks to check out the sun setting over the beautiful pacific, the lighting was perfect for some great shots, Louisa loved the sand and waves. More fun tomorrow!

A Day at the La Brea Tar Pits!!!! Awesome!

We are all safe and sound in LA!! Louisa did great on the plane 5 hour plane ride:) We are staying over by the Venice Beach area last night and tonight. Scott has a first cousin that lives with his wife and sweet daughter Lydia in LA right across the street from the Tar Pits. I have been wanting to visit the Tar Pits for some time, I just love Natural History. During our Visit to LA in 98 the Tar Pits were closed so we did not get to see them, not this time!! WE got to tour the whole thing! It is truly amazing. If you do not know what the are most people do not!!
They are natural Tar pits that over millions of years ago
animals would get stuck in them, animals like Saber Tooth Tigers, Mammoths, Giant Sloths, Camels, Horses, you name it, the bones were preserved and excavated many years later. A fascinating place, the was awesome to visit today!! Did you know we had American Lions here!!! Way back then anyway!
After the Tar Pits we had some pizza for lunch then headed over to drive through Beverly Hills , Rodeo Drive and Hollywood, we even found Paul Newman's Star and Hollywood Blvd - RIP

The last shot is of Scott Feet, I guess we picked up some tar walking around the museum, oops took some work to get it off, my feet were covered as well! Hope we can get it off the bottom of the tub before check out!!??

One more Pretty shot

Fall Photo Shoot:)

A Day at Shaker Village!

We played hookey today from grass cutting, laundry, and going to the dump to spend this magnificent day at Shaker Village! It was the most perfect relaxing fall day. They were having their annual WOOL Day, there were sheep and exhibits galore. I had visited Shaker Village as a child with fond memories and was anxious to take Scott and Louisa there for their first visit. We took a excellent tour of some of the buildings. I am convinced the place is haunted. A history lesson for sure. We had Bison burgeres for lunch and some treats from the gift shop for the ride home, Sasparalila Soda was GGGreat! Louisa fell asleep before we could get to the car. She had a great time running over the Kelly Green lawns, and collecting huge pine cones. Thanks for a fun fall day Dada and LALa
