Finally had a chance to uplaod the pictures of my vacation.
Warning: Tons of pictures (but nt as many as Laura took...she was over 700 pictures by the 7th day!)

Great weather, beautiful beaches...great food :)

I spy with my little eye...
Fire damage in the botanical gardens
Do you see what I see?
I hate stairs..
Lunch on the beach
Los Angeles Area
View from our hike up the Hollyridge

Malibu
Very cold water!!
Geoff got worried when he saw this picture!
I don't miss this at all!!! FYI this was on a Sunday at 3:00 pm.  Look past the smog and you can see Downtown LA
JAWS @ Universal Studios
The reason I came back home...Grandma Madeline.  Yup, I'm named after her. She'll be 95 in November.

Looks like you had a great trip!! Really wonderful photos, they are all fabulous but I have to say the one of you and your Grandma Madeline is my favorite. She is beautiful (as are you!)
