We took a family trip this May to see my brother who was in from South Korea. It was a wonderful time with new experiences and new memories made so I thought I'd share a few pictures with you...

The first is my daughter and me in Laguna Beach, her first time to the Pacific.

I couldn't believe the seaweed! At first I thought this was fake seaweed, made of plastic.  I know that's not very plausible but this is nothing like Gulf seaweed...

My girl. My parents, so thankful for them!

Daddy and Daughter, Happy early Father's Day, Dad!

Huntington Beach. What a beautifully deep beach with more birds than I've ever seen before! So we had to stop for Little Mr. --aka Bird chaser...

Can you find him? Look for the green shirt.

This picture illustrates the varied nature of my lovies--one relaxing on the sand, one running full speed ahead...

Finally, he stops. Disneyland proved to be very enjoyable. The characters are SO much more approachable without the monster lines. So my little miss optimized her time seeking autographs.

Our navigator. Cinderella's castle. Not quite as grand as Disney World's, but lovely all the same.

San Diego Zoo.

Petting zoo.

I hope he didn't feel too exposed.

Zoo goers.

Lots of fun firsts for us on this trip!
