Our trip home to California

It has been forever since I have put anything on the blog and I really only have about four weeks of excuses. Greg, Conor, Ryan and I traded a cold, wet Shanghai for a sunny and warm California over the Christmas holiday. We spent time with family and visited lots of amusement parks. Conor and Greg took in Magic Mountain and the San Diego Wild Animal Park on their own, while Ryan and I had time visiting family, and we all enjoyed Disneyland and California Adventure together. Christmas was really nice, and catching up with people was wonderful... if we could only do it without the 13+ hours of flying it would be perfect!

Here are some pictures from our trip.

Conor joined a street band...

Not sure what had Conor and Ryan so interested, but this picture was in our hotel at California Adventure... and Conor sitting in Toad's car. He didn't care for Toad's Wild Ride, but liked sitting in the car!
