Long Beach

The summer started off slow, with everyone being sick. I feel like we are finally back to our normal crazy.

Feeling like summer was escaping me, we made a spontaneous trip to Long Beach.  I decided to take only the oldest, Teagan and Brendan.  We had a fantastic time exploring new places, the most moving was the Holocaust Museum.  Since Teagan and Brendan have both been studying WWII so this was a wonderful field trip to learn from this dark period of history and how even the darkest hour there were heros among us, people strong enough to step up.

On a lighter part of the trip:

The Long Beach Aquarium was awesome, with all of the touch tanks! Their aquariums were beautiful and educational.

Feeding the Lorakeets-my favoite birds

They even let you touch the sharks! Ok, not this one but
some smaller ones. 


We enjoyed exploring the Queen Mary and its history.

Whale Watching:

and some time wandering the surf shops in Surf City.  Now it feels like summer!!
I hope you are enjoying your summer.
