I couldn't resist taking a million pictures of Hayley in this cute bow... I have officially turned to the dark side (of girl fashion, that is!)

Vacation Pictures
Most of you have seen our vacation pictures on Facebook. If you haven't seen them... check them out there (it takes too long to upload them here). :)
I laugh at some of the comments I have gotten about our vacation, like... "where was that bed and breakfast where you had the whole pool to yourself?" or "Where in California can you DRIVE on the beach?"
So, here's the scoop...
Joel works with this man "Joe" in the automotive paint industry. Whenever Joel travels north for PPG, he stays at this guy's house in the guest apartment. It has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and a full kitchen. Joe has offered it to our family many times, so we decided to take him up on it. It just so happens that Joe and his family left that week for their own vacation. So, we were amazed to have the whole place to ourselves! It is 10 minutes from downtown Solvang among the most beautiful rolling hills and wineries. He left us the keys to the main house, pool, apartment and garage full of toys (motorcycles etc.). We were gone for 5 days, took amazing pictures, made tons of memories, enjoyed a day at the zoo, visited Neverland (ha ha) and amazingly only spent $350! How can you beat that??!!
Oh, by the way-- the place we drove on the beach is a 5 mile Recreational Park that you have to pay to get into... of course, only in California! It is in Pismo Beach called Oceano Dunes.
One more thing-- we did not have our own personal photographer. :) All the pictures of all 5 of us were taken by Self-Timer on the camera!!

Private Blog...
OK, I am jumping on the bandwagon and changing my blog to private viewing. I guess any and all types of internet security are good. So, if you wish to be added to the blog list, please email me so I can invite you to "join". Those of you who currently blog know what this means...
For the rest of you, you need to email me letting me know you would like to view my blog. Then, I will send you an invitation. You accept, but need to set up a free Google account. This allows you to log in before viewing my site.
Email me through this blog or FB if you have any questions...
I will be changing to "private" viewing after the 4th of July...
