Spring Break in California: Los Angeles

After our gnarlatious visit to San Diego, we made our way to Los Angeles to visit friends who live in the charming city of Santa Monica. It was great to spend time with former New Yorkers Tine and Ivan and reunite our kids, who, in former lives, were each other's best friends. Highlights of the trip included:

Anza-Borrego Desert State Park ... a detour on the way to Los Angeles
Santa Monica Pier
Posing on a dinosaur egg in Santa Monica
Imagining life by the tar pits
Being thankful we didn't live during the Ice Age
Losing sack races, even while breaking all the rules in the book
Enjoying a friendly game of topfschlagen
Practicing sadist donkey attacks
Enjoying some complex readings
More topfschlagen!
Enjoying Olvera Street
Going tubular at the park
Making gneiss poses
Taking for granite how many gneiss poses the kids can rock (yes, they're on a rock here too)
Visiting Little Ethiopia, where I explained everything I knew about the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon (it took 12 seconds)
