mimi and papa part 1

we had such a great time when mama and daddy (a.k.a. mimi and papa/toby and ted) were here.  here is part 1 of their visit.  by part 1 i don't mean these are in order.  seriously, who has time to be that organized?  not me.

malibu.  malibu is beautiful and rugged.  it does have fancy pants houses but you can't see much of them as you drive by.  east coast beaches and west coast beaches are totally different and this is proof.  no one would believe that california can be as cold as it was on this day.  i'm wondering how malibu barbie got her tan since it really is kind of a chilly place!

here we are at the la zoo.  i finally succeeded in getting cashel to pet a goat!  look at the bottom left picture.  as we were headed out cashel spotted a "truck" that he just had to sit in.  he's a heavy boy and insists on being carried a lot.  thank god for mimi and papa! 

this is the getty.  it's a museum.  we only experienced the outside part of the museum.  the botanical gardens were beautiful.
