This trip ended with a mini family reunion of with cousins from back home in Chicago (they now live in LA and New Jersey). They rented a wonderful home in Santa Barbara where we played with our little cousins Max, Julia, Ryan and Lily and their parents -- and of course my kids.. it was wonderful.
Thank you everyone... it was wonderful... love to all of you.
The painting above is a watercolor I did from my cousins backyard in Malibu one morning. Nice view....every moment of everyday the views were wonderful.
