Visit down South

The girls and I just returned from a FUN 4-day trip down south to visit family!
They had the week off for Fall break....and we took full advantage (Mike had to stay behind as his school was still in session!)!!
 Early birthday celebration with family--These girls will be 5 & 7 SOON!!
Playing air hockey with Sheila
I was lucky to get an run in each day!  This was my Monday run view at Pt Fermin
 Monday we visited the Redondo Beach Pier with Great-Grandpa Bob
 Lunch at the pier---Maddy still impresses me from time to time!
She ordered (and ate!!) clam chowder, fried shrimp, and tasted my crab cake and linguini and clams pasta!!
 Tuesday: We made a quick trip to play tennis, play at the park, and then headed down to the harbor to visit the Maritime museum. They had a wonderful kids scavenger hunt which the girls both loved.
Then after lunch we headed out to Cabrillo beach for some tide pool fun.
 Maddy's face of disgust after touching the sea anemone
 So proud of herself that she was in the water
 Wednesday: We started with a morning run/ride down at the harbor, and we were there just in time for the first fountain display of the day!
 Later that afternoon we picked up Grandma Donna and we headed to the La Brea Tar Pits
 Active tar bubble!! They were all over the property
 We finished off our last night in town with an obligatory trip to the girls favorite....the Chinese Buffet!! Maddy even asked to try the green tea ice cream!
And Henry did the final bedtime reading!!
