California Summer 2008


We took our yearly vacation to California and had a wonderful time. We made a stop in Mesquite and slept at hotel Eureka.


Swimming at our hotel in Mesquite. The girls loved it!



Eating breakfast at Goleta Beach. We enjoyed feeding the seagulls left-over chicken.


Megan and her sandcastle at Carpenteria State Beach



Eating lunch at a Mexican restaurant


Bernard enjoyed every minute at the beach, especially swimming with the waves.


Our goal as a family was to run every morning on the beach. We did very well. Here the family is posed at Henry's Beach.



Melissa and Megan got all dressed up to go shopping at the plaza in downtown Santa Barbara.


We stayed with our wonderful friends in Santa Barbara. They had very comfortable chairs that we all took advantage of. Here Sylvie and Lucy are relaxing. I am not sure what May is doing in the corner.



Lucy took our family to feed the fish at a complex. The fish were huge! We all had so much fun feeding and touching them.


We spent an afternoon on the famous Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles. Here May strikes a pose similar to that of the figure behind her.


While we were walking around Rodeo Drive and looking at all of the shops, Bernard had us pose on a bench for a picture. This young man approached us and told us that he'd take the picture. Bernard joked around with him for a while and was like "No, you'll still our camera." This guy then attempted to grab the camera and run off...we think he was joking. Anyways we gave him the camera and this is what we got...

It's a beautiful shot, and we still have our camera. Life is good.
