Happy Birthday, Mr. Siegel!

Daddy decided he wanted to spend his b-day morning in Santa Monica. They have a lovely Farmer's Market, plus it was a nice day to stroll along the coast and look at the ocean! I could not believe what a pretty day it turned out to be.

Below is the view from the bridge that goes over Pacific Coast Highway.

Galacticruise!

Oh, MAN! How rad is this?! Your dream vacation with your favorite TV stars, like Edward James Olmos and Katee Sackhoff! Oh wait -- no, I'm sorry, this is for fans of the ORIGINAL Battlestar, soooo... Yeah, you'll pretty much be lucky if you meed Dirk Benedict. Still! What the heck!

These specialty cruises are such a great idea. I understand there's one just for Pink Floyd fans! Pretty ingenious.

Happy Birthday, America!

Our family had a lovely 4th of July -- hope yours did, too! We spent most of our day in Ventura, enjoying their cool weather and lunching at The Habit. On the way back home we made a few stops -- once for Evan to stick his feet in the ocean, then later at the Camarillo Outlet Mall so Mom & Dad could squeeze in a spot of shopping.
