It's not always sunny in California

My parents definitely know how to bring the rain!  This was the second time that their visit from cold, overcast Chicago to sunny soCal during the winter was met with rain, rain, and more rain.   Of course, it's still not as cold as the Midwest, but it really makes you feel like curling up under a blanket and not doing anything.  

And that was not on the list of things to do!

 There's always throwing on a sweatshirt and going out for a birthday breakfast!

Happy Birthday Dad!!!

I hope you enjoyed it! We love you!

Since they did come all the way out here, my Dad's birthday wish was to go to the beach.  

So we hopped in the car and started driving west, and lo and behold we found the sun!  

It IS always sunny in California, it just depends on where you are I guess. 

And we found some little friends too.

It was still a little windy though.

And we had to stick around for the sunset of course!

What a lovely couple I found! 

Can you believe they've been married for 45 years?

WOW, that's a long way to go hubby, 

we've got 2 down, 

many more to come...

Going...going...

Gone

That it will never come again is what makes life sweet.
