Lava River Cave 2

Hey as promised earlier this year we returned to Lava River Cave and finally entered the dark abyss and hiked with our two flashlights. It wasn't as cold as earlier this year; but it sure was dark! You can tell from the pictures that we used the flashlights to light up the area and didn't get much lit up! The top picture shows part of the cave and the second picture shows the entrance to the cave. With flashlights off you couldn't see a thing!

Another Manic Monday.

Well we finally made it home late last night. Trying to catch up today with laundry, shopping, email, etc. Lots to do and not enough time to do it in. We did want to post a few more pictures of CA and the fun we had. Yes, we're tired; but enjoy sharing with all of you our adventures. One of us has to go back to work in the morning so let's get this show on the road! In addition to disneyland and the ocean, we visited Reagan's library and Nixon's library. This pigeon was a regular on our patio at the Crowne Plaza in Ventura!

Disney Birthday

What a great day. We spent all of it in Disneyland and had a blast. Lots of rides and excitement. People sang happy birthday at least five times! After watching fantastic fireworks to music and eating delicious ice cream, we returned to our hotel, The Candy Cane Inn (www.candycaneinn.net). I would recommend this hotel to anyone. What a fantastic surprise to find there were flowers from my sister and her family. What a great end to a great day.

Outback Birthday

What a funny day. After working half a day we drove to Laughlin NV which has become our stop off point to California. After much deliberation we decided to eat at Outback. Owen's steak was too done so they redid it. While waiting for the steak to come back the manager gave him a bowl of soup on the house. Like Jewish Mom's Melissa and Elizabeth kept the food coming! When the steak came back, they added another baked potato and more green beans! Meanwhile they gave me a complimentary slice of cheesecake with hot chocolate and raspberry sauce while they sang happy birthday. After we paid the bill, hugs were given and another round of happy birthday songs. Even the customers waiting to be seated joined in! What a fun place and great customer service at the Outback in the Aquarius Casino. Check it out at http://www.aquarius.com/.
