Alana's Dance Recital

Grammy and her "super star." She will be ready for America's Got Talent before too long!

Our little star after the show. She was so proud of herself. She didn't miss a beat!

The dance the class did was "I've Been Working On The Railroad" They were so cute and did a great job. Of course, Alana was the star!!

36th Anniversary Get Away to Moss Landing, CA

We went away for our anniversary to Moss Landing which is just north of Monterey. It is a quaint fishing village with several antique shops as well. We have been stopping here every time we get up the coast but have never stayed. Stayed at a great B & B. It was a nice relaxing mini vacation.

The B & B where we stayed in Moss Landing. It was a great place.

Our room in the Captains Inn. It was so relaxing to just sit and watch the animals in the water.

Sunset as seen from our room.

We took a boat tour on the Elk Horn Slough. A 2 hr. ride where we saw lots of birds, seals, sea lions, pelicans, egrets and sea otters.

There were hundreds of seals, sea lions and sea otters in the slough.

View of Moss Landing Harbor. Time to head down the coast and back to reality! We had a great trip!

Ready to board the ship. Let the fun begin!

Alana loves to have her picture taken.

Our day ashore at Catalina Island.

Alana loved the towel animals that were on the bed each evening.

The water was so cold it was hard to get Alana in. Once in, she didn't stay long!

Cael had a great time also.
