California Christmas, Part One

We flew out on 12/20, which turned out to be quite the blizzard.
The non-Minnesotans on our flight flocked to the gate window to photograph the snowfall.
We were delayed an hour getting on the plane, and spent a total of 6 hours on-board, for a 4 hour flight!  
The adventure begins.
 The first 2 days were spent with Bert's family in Huntington Beach.
I am kicking myself about not taking pictures with his grandparents etc.
 Then we took a day for ourselves and drove down Pacific Coast Highway to explore Orange County.
There had been record-breaking rainfall there, which we got to witness.
 Finally the sky starts to clear after our lunch on the pier in San Clemente.
 Fun to stay at a hotel for one night!

 Our excursion to the Mission at San Juan Capistrano.  We listened to an 'award winning' audio tour, which was quite good.  It was a great place to visit.
 Bert took the photos this day.  I love this one!

 California poppies are my favorite!


 Bert was excited to partake in Chik-Fil-A for lunch.  Yum.
