Our tribes are downright delightful. California was a noteworthy time of hanging with family, meeting cousins and friends and savoring each moment. 

We went from the airport for an evening at Manhattan Beach.

Jon loves the ocean and holds it as one of his favorite memories from living in California.

Chasing fat seagulls

After the ice was broken with cousins, the girls hung together in the ocean, all holding on to a piece of kelp and yelling things like, “We’ve got to stick together!”

And I didn’t pull out my camera again the rest of the weekend (bummer) before we drove onto Arizona. Thank you, dear Tom and Jody for hosting!
