A few familiar faces

Nici and Raegan made a trip out to San Diego to see the Teach Family this past weekend.  It was so great to see the girls and show them around our new home.  

Friday we made our way down to La Jolla to see the beautiful beaches and then over to Coronado Island to  see the famous Hotel Del Coronado.  We took the ferry over to the island and had ourselves a few frosty beverages at the hotel beach.  That night we drove back to Carlsbad where we had some yummy Mexican food.

Up close photo of Jared's food.  He said it was good. I can't believe he actually ate it.  It had a cactus in it. 

On Saturday Jared and Jackson stayed home to watch college football and us girls loaded up the car and headed to Beverly Hills!  We booked a bus tour that took us all around LA.  Although the bus was absolutely ridiculous looking, we had a blast on the tour.  We drove up the famous Mulholland Drive to get pictures of the Hollywood sign, drove through Bel Air and Beverly Hills past several stars homes (including Meg Ryan, J.Lo, Jack Nicholson, Elton John, Aaron Spelling), drove past several movie scene sites (including the fire escape from Pretty Woman) and down Rodeo Drove.  We rounded out the day with some shopping on Hollywood Boulevard and a very long drive home in LA rush hour traffic.

 Our tour bus.  It screamed "tourist".
