California Trip

Brad and I made a trip to California at the end
of March. We started our trip in Ojai and got
to visit with Katie for a few days. This is Brad
and his brother Ben as they head out to the
golf course. They had a great time re-learning
how to golf. Neither have been golfing for many
years.



Katie and I enjoyed the sunshine on the porch
outside our wonderful hotel room. Katie works
at the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa and was able to
get us a great deal on a room. She stayed
with us and it was GREAT!



This is cousin Natalie meeting us for some pizza.
It was great to be able to visit with her and here
all about her hair school adventures. She'll be
finished with school this year. Then we'll have two
members of our family who can do wonders with
our hair!





Here's the rest of the Mean's family. Vickie,
Maxo and Ben also join us for some pizza.



This is the view of the upper stories above
our porch at the hotel.


This is Brad relaxing after his golf experience.

We went to Katie's apartment and visited with
Norman. He's was so excited to see us!

Here's Katie and I on our way to do some
shopping!

After Ojai, we went to San Diego where I was
attending a conference. Jane and Steve were
there too so we got to see them. We enjoyed
some yummy Mexican food one night, then
went to our cousin Randy's house for dinner
the next night. Randy played the piano for us
and we reminisced about the old days. Uncle Guy
was also there. Don't know why we didn't get their
pictures. We probably forgot the camera. Anyway,
it was great to see them and fun to talk with them.
And seeing Guy was like having a little bit of Mom
with us. They look so much alike and have some
of the same mannerisms. It was a fun trip!
