Californ i a

We had a blast in southern California this past weekend. We flew into LA and drove north (for a really long time) to El Capitan State Beach where we camped out for a couple of days and attended the LOVELY wedding of our friends Jenn and Ian at Orella Ranch (http://orellaranch.com/OR/Welcome.html) which overlooks the coast, San Ynez mountains and the Santa Barbara Olive Company AND has some of the largest most amazing Oak trees I have ever seen. We had perfect gorgeous weather for it and little Jonah got to touch his toes in the Pacific for the first time (to which he gave a little shiver)! We stayed in a fun canvas walled tent/cabin at across from the beach at el capitan canyon which was fabulous and easy with the little guy...we all got to go swimming too!

The next couple of nights we spent in Santa Barbara with other friends Jason and Rebecca and I got to hang out with my dear old friend Laurel - who I hadn't seen since we graduated from high school! Aside from a nasty little stomach bug the little guy seemed to really enjoy himself and he got to hang out with his new baby buddy Jayden who is about three months younger then Jonah and awfully cute!

Hard to believe Jonah is turning 6 months old tomorrow! Next week he has his check up so we will find out then the latest stats...

We got back to Olympia last night and are back to work this week...missing the sunshine and palm trees a little!
