Martin Luther King Day

Kiddo had the day off from school and for once we couldn't find anything to do!  We have been to all the museums a million times and gone to the mall even more.  So I called up my friend, who is always doing fun things with her granddaughter on Monday's and she invited us to come to Ventura with them.

We drove over to to their house, hopped in the car with them and took off for Ventura.  Kiddo had so much hanging out with "little sister," whom she has know since she was born.   We stopped for a great seafood for lunch.  Discovered some really tasty fried shrimp that Little Sister's grandpa swore by. 
 
It was a really cold day but we went to the beach and enjoyed the sun and the waves.  The kids had fun dipping their feet in the water but the air was crisp and they got very cold quick!   We didn't last too long at the beach that day but boy was it ever a gorgeous blue sky day!   

A quick stop to good ole McD's for some hot coco warmed us up for the drive home.

The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of
