The next day, I was sore from laughing and dancing in the sand! :-)

Crystal Cove with Björg, Melis and the kids!

Thursday afternoon I met with Björg and Melis to have lunch at the Beachcomber Cafe at Crystal Cove. The boys had a blast playing in the waves. It was SO much fun just watching them run up and down the beach. :-) What nice day! Good friends, good food and great scenery!


Beach babes!



Bjorg and the double seater. :-)





Isaac, Harrison and Aaron-loving the beach!






The cereal as the leaning tower of Pisa?


Almost empty beaches-where is everybody???

Just a few more shots while waiting for Björg to pick me up to go spend the afternoon at Crystal Cove! CdM is a jewel!


See's Candies!


I couldn't remember seeing these trees last time... They were beautiful.



Lobster season begins!

We were lucky enough to be in town for the beginning of lobster season! Yay!

On Thursday morning Anna and I made the trip to Pearson's Port Fish Market and purchased 6 lobsters! We had them sliced and grilled them slowly over open coals. A little bit of melted butter... and prego! YUM!!!





That's a lot of lobster...and six for us!



numero uno...


So glad we didn't have to kill them ourselves!



Just being giddy...





Before...



The shells were so beautifully textured and covered in tiny hairs. Beautiful.



and after...



Buon appetito!

Dinner with Anna, Joan and Marilyn

Wednesday night we met up with Kerry's mom Joan and his sister in-law Marilyn. We had a great dinner at El Ranchito's Mexican restaurant. Even though Carlo was a bit bummed about his shrimp Quesadillas, the Guacamole made up for it. It was great seeing Joan and Marilyn again!
