Mom and Dad came down from WA for a week. It was a great visit. It was especially great, because Wes and I got to leave for 3 nights without kids! We got a hotel on priceline that put us in Redondo Beach. We drove down Monday night. Collected shells for the kids on a beach in Malibu, at sunrise. Walked the Santa Monica pier and had one of my favorites, coconut shrimp, at lunch time. Did some touristy stuff (drove through Bel Air, Rodeo Drive, Hollywood) and a little shopping before dinner. Rode around and to dinner on beach cruisers the hotel had available to use. Wednesday we spend at Newport Beach, playing in the waves. It was so fun to not have anyone to worry about, but us! It was especially nice to drive as long as we wanted and not worry about having to hurry and stop, so the kids could get some movement. We did miss them, but they were in good hands and it was a short trip. It was just what we needed. Westin and Jade did great with Grandma and Grandpa. They all kept eachother very busy. They were also here for Mother's Day, which made the day extra nice.
We decided to go see the Forest Hill Bridge, and the Sacramento Train Museum.
See the mannequins in the background? The freaked out Jade. She had fun playing with the trains upstairs though.
It was really nice spending time with Mom and Dad, and sad to see them go. Love, love, love them.

Sounds like a WONDERFUL trip for you guys! How awesome! The kids are getting even more adorable if that's at all possible?!
I am glad you all had fun.. Isn't it nice having Dad retired. He is up for anything now. Love the pictures. And your stroller is the one on my wish list. I am sure you love it.
So glad that you guys had a mini vacation and without the kids-yeah! Freedom is nice every once on awhile!
Yeah, it is nice to get a break. I am glad it worked out and you had so much fun!
