SUNLIGHT in California found






Seth and Bonnie enjoyed their winter break in California and was the sunlight welcome. We spent our first few days in the financial district of San Fran very downtown than to Laguna Beach through beautiful green Salinas Valley, than home via Highway 1 taking a few days to do it.

Seeing a big city was fun, staying on the 29th floor was something, the view was hard to pull yourself away from, though the city with zero dirt (we found kids playing flower pots and felt very, very bad for them.) We hit up the King Tut exhibit and than MOMO - so fun! We saw more famous than I thought possible in one city!!!

Met up with Seth's Uncle Eric and his family to take the boat to Alcatraz, cool place, I refused to go into the solitary confinement rooms.

Laguna Beach was incredible, like a tiny gem suspiciously close to L.A. Seth and Chip surfed and paddle boarded, I soaked up vitamin D and will store it until February.

Highway one was cool, elephant seal colony was great, we stayed to watch one particular family, a male had just rolled over a baby and 2 hours later the mom was looking to take someone else's baby as her own making for lots of fighting.

The amazing pictures of the coast are all from Big Sur, wow, that place was incredible.

Now back to Alaska, we are gaining 3 minutes of light a day.

Rusted Root concert tonight.

Hope your break was lovely and restful.
