I love it here

On our whirlwind Palm Springs weekend, we shopped at the Outlets, relaxed, swam, read books and mags, chilled out, went out to Thai food, danced at Las Casuelas, where the band sang Happy Birthday to Emily, danced at The Village Pubhouse, and then more relaxing.

26 miles across the Sea...

This is how many people wanted to come help Em set up her classroom and apartment and settle her into her new town, Avalon.  We had a lot of fun, especially when we went for $1 tacos and beer at the Sand Trap.

Avalon is such a beautiful town

Em and I had an amazing fwancy dinner at the Avalon Grill - we surfed and turfed!!! Below is the yummy desert ice cream bar things we shared.

Yar!

Chris and  I returned later in the week and we walked all around town and up to the top of the hill and had great views. 

Emily and I went snorkeling at Lover's Cove and saw lotsa fish and a little octopus!
