SO CAL

Sat, April 16 the Chester Clan loaded up and flew from Knoxville to Las Vegas on a trip for Easton to visit Noona & Granpa and for Justin & I to take a mini vacation (alone) in Southern California. It was such a great trip as Easton was able to spend some quality time with Noona, Granpa, Aunt Bee Bee (Brynne-Justin's sister) and Uncle Quinn (Justin's brother who flew in from Portland to visit). Easton was also blessed to have been able to visit with a set of his great-grandparents from California, Grandpa & Granma. Here are a few pictures to summarize our fun trip:



Flower Gardens
Carlesbad, CA




Beaches of Carlesbad, CA


La jolla Beach, CA



Seals and Sea lions come to this beach to sun bathe








 Old Towne, San Diego 
(Great mexican food)

San Diego Zoo









 I had to take a picture of the landscaping out west (picture below). 
Much different than what we see here in the south.


 A view from the pier where we stayed in Oceanside, CA

 The famous Laguna Beach





 This chic vehicle is how Justin and I got around in California. 
Much different from the 4x4 Tundra Justin prefers in Tennessee.
 Some quick pics of Easton at Noona's






 Brooke & Aunt Bee Bee

What a fun trip. Easton did great on the flights out and back (minus the cold he caught probably in the plane). We enjoyed time with family, a different local, and warm weather but as always, loved coming home to God's country...beautiful East Tennessee.
