the left coast...

last week i took a few days off from work and flew here...  

to see these two for a couple of days...

 

and staying in their house is like staying in a hotel (that flower arrangement is courtesy of my brother-in-law). they've lived here since last fall and it was my first time visiting...

and while i was there they took me all around to see and do things like this...

 

 

 

 

 

 and because i never get to see my fur-nephew, i took a few million of him while i was there, just for good measure...
