Flora-Bama

Today's a bit cloudy so after laying out for just a few minutes we decided to go to Flora-Bama. We looked like the ultimate tourists!

Lamberts

If you haven eaten here...you need to! We started going to Lambert's like 15 years ago. It is so fun! They have vegetables and stuff like that but they bring around all these sides and they come out every few minutes and throw rolls at you. If you want a roll you just wave at the guy and he tosses it to you! Its a fun atmosphere!

We have sandy beaches...California has palm trees

I noticed this trip that the palm trees are just pitiful compared to the ones in California but give me the white sand and warm water over tall palm trees anyday!

Pirates!!!

This store we went into tonight has a ton of pirate stuff! Everyone knows I'm obsessed but Denise is too!!! She has a whole room devoted to them!

Yep, we're gay

These flowers are under one of our balconies and they're so pretty! So I made everybody go down and get their pic made in the flowers...
Uncle Johnny


Wesley

Mama & Daddy

First night out...

Our first night we went to a caribbean restaurant. It was really good but we only took one car. On the way I sat in Mama's lap in the back but that wasn't gonna work for the way back (cause we had all eaten too much) so Daddy climbed in the back of the truck which has a cover over it. It was hilarious! He got out sweating like a pig!

the Hooters down here...and they seem proud

Daddy loading up

letting us know he's still alive

Our matching sunglasses

Finally...some white sandy beaches!!!!

Monday morning the fam left for Gulf Shores. We met Uncle Johnny and Denise on the interstate and when we got up to them they had on the COOLEST sunglasses EVER!!! Best part...they had ALL of us pairs of them! We spend the whole day today on the beach. It acted like it was going to storm for awhile but we stayed in the sand and it passed with no rain...it ended up being a gorgeous day and Daddy is now medium rare and I am well done! We've also been eating great! Last night we went to this caribbean place and tonight it was Live Bait.

Leaving San Diego

For our last night we went out downtown to a really nice bar. It was so freakin expensive...$12 for a drink...I had one.



Aereal didn't wanna leave Laura's house

We had a 2.5hr layover in Denver this time...Aereal took a nap.

Temecula Valley

Friday was Temecula Valley wine tasting. I LOVE the wine that is grown here. I like it better than Napa but Laura liked Napa better...I think their wines are sweeter here and I like sweet wines. I bought 6 bottles of wine but I had them shipped. I can't wait to get them!

Cooking with Matty

Thursday night Matty came and cooked a yellowtail for us that he had caught that day. It was some of the best food ever! We also got to watch the fireworks that Seaworld does every night right from Laura's balcony.



I started a new trend of side ponytails in California!

"Dinner Club"

Since Laura had to work Wednesday we went to Laura's roomie Mikey's dinner club. Well everyone else couldn't come so ended up just being us 3 but we had a good time! We started at this restaurant, then went to this cheap bar called Star and then to a country western bar called Incahoots. There they had line dancing, cowboys, and all everybody had on cowboy boots! They had dances for all the songs and we could do a few of them but some were too hard to figure out! We all had WAAYY to much fun.

This is for you Chris...

this was a statue that Chris found online and wanted a picture of it so bad. Its a statue of a navy pilot kissing his nurse girlfriend! Its in front of a navy battleship and there is also a Bob Hope memorial there too. It was a very cool statue cause it looked so real!

Koala Pics

Last time I didn't get to see the koalas so I was so excited to see them this time. They were absolutely adorable! They look so cuddly and cute but I hear they are really mean!



These koalas kept kissing each other...it was very cute but I couldn't get a pic of them actually kissing!

More Zoo Pics

Polar Bears

My last trip here I fell in love with the pandas. This time...the polar bears. They were so active! They were all jumping in the water, playing with their toys, or coming up to the glass and playing with us! They were absolutely gorgeous! And this was why I ended up with 175 pics of just them.

It was such an amazing experience for Aereal and me...I can just imagine what this was like for these little kids!
