End of the Line

I’ve got the last of the Thanksgiving posts up before Christmas!  Yeah for me!  In keeping with the way the whole Catalina trip has been posted so far, these are just the scattered leftovers.

  I really shouldn’t have to label these at this point.

At the museum there was a collection of pictures of notable Hollywood-types and various movie sets around Catalina.  I know the pictures of the pictures aren’t particularly good but I wanted to mention to you that this is where Natalie Wood drowned and where Marilyn Monroe lived with her first husband.  If you look, you’ll also see Desi Arnaz and the boat (with the movie poster on it) from Doris Day’s Glass Bottom Boat.

And enjoying the view.  At this point we were on a short hike, as far back into the hills and out of town as we could get without a hiking permit.

We didn’t see any of the buffalo, but we did get a few glimpses of wildlife.

IMG_4287_editWe also managed to get a good Christmas card photo of all of us.

Some fun at the beach and then it’s time to head home.
