Cali.~Part 2:

Part 2:
Post wedding (actually a few of these are pre-wedding but I didn't want to include them in the wedding post, as they weren't directly related!)

Mondo Burrito
..one of the Hendersons favorite eating places!  
Similar to a Qdoba..but they don't have those out there!
Disclaimer
I realize no one should have to see a 89 year old grandma in her swimsuit..but this is what my family has to deal with on a regular basis.  Grandma E modeling! Get out the camera and watch her go!  I'm NOT kidding!!!  If you can't change things, embrace them!
Linda, Janice & Julie working on Bridesmaids gifts.
Carissa did a lot on these, she just wasn't there when I took the picture...actually on second look I see her leg...lol! 
Grandma E & me...behaving! 
She really looks great! 
We walked up to a corner gas station and I spotted this...isn't that great!...I think I could eat the whole treat...love these! 
Julie & Janice embracing their 'vices' to get through the wedding 
Joel, Dad & Linda 
Tod & Julie have a beautiful home!  
A BIG thanks to them for letting us all hang out there! 
The day after the wedding,
we were all so well rested we went to an outlet mall on the way home....it's kind of an open air/semi enclosed fortress.  It was so packed with shoppers, we had to park in a field and hike in!  And the Food Court was packed! 
We always play Euchre! 
One morning we went to IHOP to celebrate Joel, Cailin & Dad's birthday 
more Euchre! 
getting ready to go for a walk 
On Labor Day, we went to the Scott's new home...they are good friends of Tod & Julies...they obviously have a beautiful home...Randy & Eileen are some of the nicest people you would want to meet...thanks for sharing your house with us!
the ladies playing Croquet! 

On Tuesday, we said good-bye to Grandma E, John, Lurinda & Janice..after dropping Janice off at SFO airport..Julie drove Linda & I and the kids to Half Moon Bay....it's a cute little town with shops along the main street...similar to Ludington or Grand Haven.
AND it's on the Pacific Ocean!  So we got to experience the ocean too!  Ryan was a little unsure of the waves..but we got a few pictures! 
Nana Julie, Ryan and GREAT Gma Linda 


Cailin 
We went to Pluto's for dinner ..that's in the Santana Row shopping area..and then got ourselves some Gelato....mmmm! Best stop all night! 
Grandpa Bill, Joel & Ryan 
Santana Row 
Carissa, Cailin & Ryan in the pool at Tod & Julies 
Tod with 2 of his favorite things..Ryan and anything Michigan! 
a few photos before Joel and Carissa headed back to their home in Oregon 
Sisters...and Ryan's hand ..lol
If you think that looks like great fun...wait till you see Cali part 3!
