Back in August, we went to visit my mom's godmother Barbara who lives in Santa Monica, California. She has a backyard with orange and grapefruit trees. We had a blast picking fresh fruit off the trees. Here's the stash I got below (Barbara - left, me - middle, Grandma - right):

Of course, there are two things you can't miss while in LA ... the first is the beach! I also found a new toy 'natural' ... seaweed. Man, that stuff is fun!


The second thing you can't miss is Mexican food. To assauge my hunger, we went to Santa Monica Pier and the mexican restaurant Mariasol. I was a 'happy camper' ... I couldn't figure out exactly what I wanted from the menu...
So I finally settled on ... well everything from Daddy's plate and Mommy's plate!
It was fantastic. We spent the rest of the evening walking along the pier where Barbara got this great shot of the family!
Also while in LA, I got to experience a little swimming pool action. Here's my first time in a swimming pool. Let's just say ... I loved it.
