Mom's first trip to CALI!!





My Mom came out to visit for 10 days...it was WONDERFUL!! We didn't get to do everything we wanted because there is just way too much to do in this place! These pictures are from Santa Barbara. We had so much fun shopping, eating and showing Mom how California is a little different than any other place...(hence the picture she took of the Scientology center:))










Our other adventure was to Santa Monica Boulevard (where Private Practice is filmed and the spot known for Sheryl Crow's video "All I Wanna Do." Anyway, we had so much fun shopping on 3rd Street Promenade and taking the girls to the beach. My Mom really enjoyed seeing the west coast beaches for the first time. It is amazing to see an entire carnival on the beach...COOL!!

The rest of the time we hung out with the girls and shopped till we dropped. My Mom literally filled up her guest room at my house with new stuff and presents for my family...its just what happens in CA!!
