Old Faces in New Places

Visiting season has commenced and the California residence of the Wildes is open for business!

Your welcome will inevitably look something like this because, you know, my kids are simply starved for someone to read to them.

With a little luck, you might get to see some of these sorts of shenanigans early in your trip.  (Notice the lotion smeared on Naomi’s pants and shirt and on the mirror.)

P1130727But don’t worry, we’ll get you to some place that looks like this very soon.

Alternate views of the same location.

A visit to the pier and the Pacific makes for a simple and sweet introduction to the local area.

Accompanied by your favorite California-dwelling kiddos, of course.

There was early morning fog most mornings that Erik and Rach were here, but it generally burned off by mid-morning and stayed clear the rest of the day; it seems as though that’s pretty typical because we saw the same thing at the end of the summer when we first got here.  By the way, that’s Casa Romantica up on the hill; you may remember it.

Are you aching for some sunshine and ready to check ticket prices yet?

  3. Janet,
    Well, we're not quite into cursive here yet, but it sounds like you had a great time with Michelle's kids! Excited to have you out here!
