More Adventures with Gramma

On Sunday we drove to Long Beach to see Travis' Uncle. It was beautiful!!!! They have a condo that overlooks the Queen Mary. It was so gorgeous. We got a little lost getting there so we crossed over the bridges and could see the pier. It was quite an amazing sight to a farm girl! :) We walked around the beach and went to Famous Dave's for dinner. It was very good. Ethan ate almost every bite of his dinner and then a lot of the onion rings and corn on the cob. I don't think we had ever seen him eat so much. It was a very wonderful day.

Monday we decided to go check out a town called Tehachapi. It is north of the base and we heard it would be a good place to raise a family. It is a lot less hot and actually has 4 seasons. There are beautiful apple orchards out there. It is pretty but very rural. It does not even have a Walmart. Okay, so I totally grew up without ond but I totally have been spoiled since I have been an adult and had to shop. There is an Albertsons and a K-Mart but thats just not the same. Also, there seems to be a LOT more to do in Palmdale than Tehachapi but I guess it is an option.

Monday night we had an adventure trying to find Apollo Park. Once we got there it was very enjoyable and peaceful. On our way we found the musical highway Strip. When you drive over it going the speed limit it plays a song. It was pretty cool. Since we got lost we actually got to go over it twice. Apollo Park has duck ponds and several play areas. It was a gorgeous evening and Eth got to play lots. It was a very peaceful ending to a wonderful day.

This morning we had to bid farewell to Gramma and take her to the Shuttle stop. We absolutely enjoyed having her here and can't wait 'til we get to see her again. It was a very fun week. Now back to the grind. Hopefully we don't get too bored without her around! ;)

Below is a pic of the famous person... If you recognize her let us know who it is! :)
