**PHOTO OVERLOAD**
The highs of this trip were:
| Kayaking with my 69 year old Grandma (she rocks!) |
| Getting PBR's (piggy back rides) |
| A million jumping photos |
| Shopping at SLO Swap Meet with Auntie V and finding lots of Shabby Chic treasures |
| Winning at Bunco |
| Lunching with my Point Loma roomies and their hubbs plus a couple new baby additions to the group :) |
| Happy Hour at Embassy Suites |
| Endless hours of entertainment from MaMa and those kahluas and cream. |
| Jumping on the bed, of course |

| Dinner with my bestie and friends |
| Farmer's Market |
| Meeting up with Texas friends at Pismo Beach. Small world! |
| Making sandcastles for Ethan to destroy :-) |
| Seeing my sister's play in Camria |
| This picture made us laugh hysterically. What do you think of my man legs? |
| Hitting 150,000 miles on the Camry. That was the only high for this sad car. |
| Seeing all of my dad's family and taking silly pictures at the beach. Nice nip-slip, uncle Sieb! |

| Skipper's Beautiful Wedding! |
| San Diego with my furry little princess. And Maddie Bear too :) |
And now for the LOWS which coincidentally all took place on the
1300 mile drive back from Vegas to San Antonio:
| check engine light comes on. Andrew replaces coolant. |
| Monsoon hits in Arizone causing zero visibility. Eeek. |
| 3 hours from home the grill fell off the front of the car. Here's Andrew recovering it off I-10. |
I am currently undecided if we will ever make this treacherous drive across country again.
Maybe if there were more shopping stops along the way!!!


What a wonderful recap of your Calif time. Loved looking at your photos...Vegas looked like fun! Happy Anniversary to you two!! Thanks for warning me about the shark!
