More pictures of the garden.

Our lupines are back!

The blueberries are starting to bloom. Looks like we might get 6 berries this year :)

We planted some color spots today.

While I was out in the back yard picking some flowers for a flower arrangement, our neighbor stopped by with a handful of lilac blooms. They really finished the arrangement perfectly.

Kia's frst day out on the porch this year. She was loving it :)

Lilacs are blooming. They smell wonderful.

Our house is guarded by a Tusken Raider and Admiral Ackbar, so watch out.

We helped a friend to move and got to move some of her rocks to our house :)

A new color of tulips started blooming.

The kitty is glad we are home. She has been sitting with us on the couch a lot.

We are using a lot of lotion. Rob is more sunburned than I am becasue I used lots of sunscreen, but we both smell like cherry blossom this week.

April 24, 2011: Last Day in San Diego :(







We watched a little girl try to convince her younger brother that this shower was actually a candy dispenser. You have to push a button to make the shower work. She was telling her brother to "Push the button, push the button! Candy will come out!" Too funny for words!











April 23, 2011: Day 3 in San Diego

We went to the beach and walked out on the pier.






There were a lot of surfers in the water. They're the little black dots.


We saw a pigeon drinking from a faucet. I guess they don't like salt water either :)


The surfers didn't really do that much.


What a view!


Rob went bodyboarding.


The water was freezing. I did take a dip, but I couldn't stay in long enough to do anything else. Rob enjoyed it though.


We also went sea kayaking. It was a ton of fun, but I was so afraid that I would tip the kayak over that I didn't take the camera with me. I'm actually glad I didn't because we were sitting in a pool of water by the time we were done :)

April 22, 2011: Day 2 in San Diego

We went for a walk around the hotel grounds. It was beautiful.






We rented some bikes and went for a bike ride. The backs of our hands got sunburned! DOes anyone really think about the back of their hands needing sunscreen??



Uh oh, I think we might have travelled back in time!

We went to the pool. There was a guy in a speedo.

I just love these Mandarin Ducks. Their name sounds like a dish in a Chinese restaurant.

April 21, 2011: Day 1 in San Diego

Rob and I were the first of our group to arrive. We were meeting my parents and my sister and her husband. We explored the hotel and the beach whle waiting for them. The hotel was on Mission Bay.

These cool trees were right outside our room.

Rob rocked his new shirt at dinner.

The hotel bar had a huge aquarium. We watched the fish every night. We never got to see the clown fish. She had just laid eggs, but there was no Mr. clown fish to fertilize them. She was depressed and was possibly going to die. She hung in for the weekend.

The lion fish.

Funny sign :)

April 20, 2011: Getting Ready

The kitty is completely oblivious.
