Long Beach

If you guessed California....you were right!

Getting Erin on the plane took some planning,  but once she was on she did awesome.  It helps to keep her between us.  We flew Jet Blue,  because we always wanted to try them,  and I was able to snag some very inexpensive tickets.

While we were in Long Beach we went to the pacific Aquariam,  I think our favorites were the Sharks, and the Jelly Fish.

Of course we did some swimming.

We took the Catalina Express out to Catalina Island.   If you go on your birthday you can go for free.  unfortunately I was 2 days early.

 We rented a golf cart and toured around.

 It is absolutely beautiful there.

 We also headed up to Hollywood Blvd.  I can honestly say that LA traffic is no worse than here in Salt Lake.

 This is the view from our room......10 steps and you are in the pool.

There was some confusion when we checked in to come home,  not to mention an hour delay,  so they upgraded us  (got to Love upgrades they are the best)  The easiest way to entertain Erin is to make sure you download videos so she can watch,  while you wait to board.  This came in oh so handy on our way home.

It's fun to get away for a week but it's always nice to be home.  The funny thing is we were home for 3 days and then gone again down to St George for Bruce's work.
