California

So we decided that we could use a vacation and what better place to go than Southern California. While on the plane Nick and I were trying to figure out how long it had been since we had been to California. We were thinking about 5-6 years. 5-6 years is an awfully long time to go without a Balboa bar- way too long in my opinion! We had such a fun time that it was really difficult to come home and face the reality of being back to work.

Momma B was nice enough to pack Jack a little backpack full of toys and goodies to keep him occupied on the plane. He was very excited to have Polamalu joining us on the trip.

The plane was a bit cold so everyone had to donate their snugglies for the cause.

Cousin Beckham, or "baby" Beckham as Jack liked to call him. Please note that Beckham is only 6 months younger than Jack.

Aunt Kakie and Uncle Brandon (the uncle that likes to run according to Jack)

Our Grandmommy and Granddaddy.

Yeah Mimi!

Ainsley and Pop coming back from a dip.

Jack could have played out here all day with Pop.

Bathing beauties!

We have always enjoyed going to the different presidential libraries. We hadn't been to Reagan's library in years so we decided to go for a visit this year. Jack is standing next to an actual piece of the Berlin wall. He had no idea what it was- he just thought that it was cool.

Ainsley making her bunny face. She couldn't do it on que so we just had to try and snap photos when the moment pleased her and she decided to perform for us.

The really fun thing about the Reagan Presidental Library is all of the fun "accessories" that they have managed to procure.

The boys couldn't help themselves. Good thing that we were outside.

The Regan Library has a special pavillion built around Air Force One. It wasn't here when we visited last, so we were excited to see it. This plane is the same plane that flew President Reagan 660,000 miles and to 26 countries. Although we couldn't take photos of the inside of the plane, it was straight out of the eighties. It was really cool.

The jelly bean motorcycle- nothing was cooler to Beckham and Jack than this motorcycle.

Posing for the paparazzi.
