Vacation - Days 6-7

Day SIX!

Another sleeping Luca pic:

Silly Amelia:

Looking wistfully toward the beach:

Hanging out while Luca napped:

My cute cousin eating breakfast:

So we hung out at the house all morning, and after Luca's nap, we headed into the main street of Manhattan Beach:

We picked a restaurant for lunch... it had a nice view of the beach:

We had a fabulous lunch, and then found a nearby splash pad:

Luca sat down...

... and got his bottom wet:

We headed back to the house and changed for an afternoon at the beach:

Our last trek down the long hill to the beach:

The kids again had an amazing time on the beach - several hours!

Finding shells again:

Somersaults again:

Mama and Amelia out deep:

Sandy snack:

Assisted hand stands:

Trying to be like Uncle Ron:

After a few hours in the sun, we headed back for dinner:

One last cousin meal:

Teasing Luca with some food:

And one last night of play:

Day SEVEN:

Time to head home!

Saying goodbye to Uncle Ron:

One last drive down to the water:

At the airport -- waiting to check in our bag:

A little kissie:

Waiting at the gate for our flight ... and being weird:

Amelia did well with her new bag:

On our first flight!

We got to Chicago and weather almost kept us there for 26 hours.... but we made it out!!  Yay!

Luca passed out early into our last flight:

We got to our airport and everyone was exhausted... Amelia tried to make Luca smile:

But it didn't work:

Waiting for Mama to file the report for our missing luggage (it came the next day):

We got home just past midnight (9pm Cali time).... so thankful to be home!
