Los Angeles
Aaron, Laura, Chloe Reuben and I started out on the 5 hour journey to Los Angeles on Friday evening. We arrived at the Holiday Inn, Hollywood around 2am.
We got a tour around LA on Saturday morning and saw all the well known sights, walk of fame, Hollywood sign (it was a dot in the horizon), Beverley Hills, Bel Air, Sunset blvd, etc..
It was all interesting, but also quite false, the houses around Bel Air and Beverley Hills were class!!Saw houses belomging to Jackie Chan, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Dr Phil etc.
We went to Huntington State beach, and then travelled south to Costa Meysa where we stayed over night with Beryl and Richard Koehler Relations of mine. We enjoyed spending time with them and their family.
On our way back to Santa Clara we did a bit of beach hopping, stopping at, Manhattan Beach and Long Beach which has the largest Habour outside of China.
The weather was a lot hotter in LA, it was 29C on Saturday it was great!

It was back to work for Aaron on Monday, so Laura, the children and I drove south to Monterey and visited Monterey Bay Aquarium and Fisherman's Wharf. It was a good day and Reuben and Chloe both enjoyed looking at all the fish.

Half Moon Bay
After leaving Dad and Mum to the airport port on Saturday afternoon we went for a drive down to Half Moon Bay on the coast near San Francisco. The Scenery was really nice on the way but I kept missing photo opportunities which Aaron likes to remind me off!!! Even though it was a really warm day it was a little hazy but we still got a good view of the waves and clifts around half moon bay.
This was Reuben's first trip to the beach after 5months. Chloe loved playing with the sand and Aaron took her down to the water for a little paddle as well!
We stopped on the way back for chloe to get a pony ride - as you can see from the photos, she thought it was great!

Tuesday we went to the Tech Museum in San Jose.
Wednesday, Dad was feeling ill so Mum, the children and I went to the Children's Discovery Museum and did a little more shopping. Thursday we made it to the Intel museum and Friday Mum and I went shopping AGAIN!!!
It was good to have them over for the week and the children loved being spoilt by their grandparents!
Dad, hope you're feeling better!
