We had a really fun week. We were lucky enough to have Brian and Abby come spend a few days with us. They came down to Los Angeles to see Abby's brother and new nephew and were able to come see us as well. It was fun to hang out and just talk. Friday we went to this miniature golf place near us. Jackie got the best of us all and won. We won't mention how many strokes Brian lost by.
Hanging out on the first hole.
Jackie quite upset after missing her birdie attempt.
I held the lead until the 16th hole, what a terrible hole.
If anyone has been down here to see us, you have seen this castle off the freeway. I was excited to actually play this hole. I drive past this castle everyday on the way to and from work. Sadly to say, I didn't make it in the trap door, but still got a birdie on the hole.
Saturday morning I taught Brian how to longboard. He was really good at it and was a natural. He did almost run into a truck that was moving and sent the board flying in front of the truck, and luckily the board didn't get run over.
We went up to Santa Barbara, walked on the pier, rented bikes and tricycles. Later we ate at Rusty's Pizza in the lighthouse and then took them on a tour of our favorite parts of Santa Barbara.
My amazing picture taking skills as I am riding the tricycle, holding the camera and taking the picture without being able to see what I was taking a picture of, pretty good aim.
This is us up a the Santa Barbara Mission overlooking the city and the ocean. Amazing view and there are some great gardens around here.
Today we headed down to LAX and stopped off in Malibu on the way and had a picnic on the beach and played a little frisbee. We put our feet in the water and it was cold and the sand was so hot. We just sat on the beach for a few hours and talked and watched the waves. Abby got some reading in and it just made for a relaxing afternoon.
We had a wonderful weekend and we're so glad that Brian and Abby could come down and see where we live. I do think my favorite part of the weekend was beating Jackie and Abby over and over again in Sequence. They never stood a chance.
