A major highlight of our trip was our 24-hour visit with the Barnetts. Mel and I are Westmont friends, and we spent a semester in Costa Rica together. I've seen her a few times in the last few years, but this was our first time hanging out with both our families, and it was wonderful! I love seeing people draw Justin out, which Dan and Mel are great at doing.
The first afternoon the boys played on the beach while Mel and I took a walk. Spending time with these dear friends was really healing for me. I wish we lived closer, as Justin and I both loved hanging out with them!
The next day we went to the Long Beach Aquarium. Even though we go to the Vancouver aquarium on a regular basis, this one had lots of awesome new stuff. Clay, as usual in any situation involving living creatures, was in heaven.
The giant octopus was a highlight

Dana,
It is so great to see your pictures. I especially loved this one, as it is one of my kids favorite things at the L.B. Aquarium too. Nicholas tries to get my parents to take him whenever we're down there! (We also love the throwing the ball for the sea lions.) Thanks again for sharing your pics- now you've got me wanting to try California Adventure... :)
UM, for some reason (probably something Dave did) the name is not showing up as me, but for the record, it is Christine writing
