Out and About in Southern California

When we're not at home, Ava often enjoys short trips to nearby parks and beaches, and slightly longer trips to L.A. and San Diego.

In April, we met up with Poppy and Grammy at the Festival of Books at UCLA.

Our favorite beach is Crystal Cove, where Ava loves splashing about in the tide pools.

One of our regular places to visit is the San Diego Zoo with its aerial tram and new polar bear exhibit.

Even trips to Old Navy can be exciting.

Of course there's nothing better than climbing and playing at the park.

Some days we get a bit of culture (yes, arts and culture exist in SoCal), by going places like the Huntington Library with Grandma and Grandpa.
