Scott and I took a trip to Catalina last week for a romantic getaway. His office gave us the trip for a Christmas present. Yeah Me! I got to enjoy it too. We had a great time. It was chilly and rained a bit, but we didn't let that stop us from exploring the island.
This is Avalon Bay where the ships come in and is the most popular harbor on the island.
You can see the casino behind us that was built by William Wrigley Jr. the bubble gum magnet. He started up the tourist part of the island and there is alot of celebrity memorabilia in the restaurants and shops. People like Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Cary Grant all vacationed there back in the day.
This is me by a buffalo. I found out that buffalos were brought to the island for a movie in the 20's and became so numerous that they actually had to ship some back to Nebraska to keep the population down. See, I learned something while I was there! We hiked to the Wrigley Monument (in the rain) and enjoyed the view. But mostly we just enjoyed eachother and the time to chill. I wish I could get away every month!

What a fun weekend. I loved learning about the buffalo... I had no idea. My kids loved the valentines from their cousins. Thank you! We can't wait to see you guys. We are planning on coming out for the baby shower. I haven't seen any of the cute chick flicks ... hopefully we can sneak away for a girly movie?
hey, glad you had a good time there. I like that pic of you with the Buffalo- I think it is one of your best pics- you look too cute to be hiking around on the island?? such a chic little catalina girl.
It's always nice to get away and spend time together. I've never been there and have been wanting to.
One question, does Scott sing the song that he wrote for you every Valentine's day? Dad
