Day 12 - Moorpark

Fun with the Burkhardts and Krista!

Day 11 - San Clemente to LA

New Baby at the Hunts!!! Welcome Elijah! We were lucky to score a visit when Wendy just had the little bugger Tuesday.

Next on the ticket was seeing our good friends, the Mehls!

Here's Harper and Addison being adorable as usual.

Addison likes cool shoes - Chris found this particularly picture-worthy.

The Mehls sans Harper.

Harper only wanted to hold Chris' hand on the way to get ice-cream AND on the way back.

Day 10 - San Clemente

We walked from San Clemente Beach to Del Mar and back.

Surfin' Chicken was one of our favorite places to eat.

Here is our hotel - Holiday Inn Express. It was totally renovated and really nice.

We also visited the place we got married: Rancho Capistrano in San Juan Capistrano.

Day 9 & 10 - San Clemente

We regretfully forgot to take pictures of our double date with Francesca we had Wednesday evening. We were nannies together in Switzerland.

Day 8 - Arizona

What is not featured in these pictures is the fact that we also:

- Ran errands for Chris' birthday, which would be a Mexican food feast. Thank you Katie for the pre-dinner 7-layer dip! We are all not very hungry for dinner after that tasty treat. And the Price Domestic Goddesses made a killer apple pie, especially for Chris.

- Made a new flower arrangement for the dining room.

- Christy and Kelsey went to see Jodie at her place of work and went to Target. Weeee!!

That evening Aunt Louise, Jodie and I had a water aerobic session - refreshing and invigorating!

Day 7 - In Arizona with the Prices

Even in extreme heat, we drove to the Cardinal's Stadium (Chris' favorite team), visited the disorientating Botanical Gardens (do not do that in summer - everything is closed inside, like the butterfly exibit and cafes), and then played games with the Price cousins!

Road Trip Day 6 - Grand Canyon Hike and Meteor Crater

-The trail down!

-Strata changes on the way down into the canyon.




-Barringer Meteor Crater, Arizona. A very big hole made to look small by following our Grand Canyon visit.

Road Trip Day 5 - Las Vegas to Grand Canyon

Thunderstorms in the Grand Canyon.

We entered into Arizona, crossed the Hoover Dam (which, I believe was in Transformers 1, right?). We were lucky to be followed by the desert thunderstorms, which cooled things off and provided some shade on our drive. Arriving to the Grand Canyon, is truely breathtaking. I think we would like to return there to hike down to the bottom for a few days. Chris will hopefully post pictures from his hike a few miles into the Canyon. It was on a trail shared by the guided mule rides.
