We got to San Diego and stayed two nights before Mom and Dad got the itch to head up to Santa Maria California. A 5 hr drive took us 8 hrs getting though the silly traffic in LA. We stayed the first 2 nights in the beautiful Santa Maria Inn. The picture of the fountain and window are from our hotel room their looking over a beautiful courtyard. The picture of the white house with greenish trim was Mimi's house that she grew up in. How neat! The last picture if you look close you'll see Daddy standing with his arms spread wide. He was on Shell Beach up near Pismo California. Papa D used to surf those waters I believe. It was a pretty chilly day so we didn't stay long.
