"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending, against all hazards. And it is our duty to defend them...

against all attacks." --Samuel Adams--

First of all, they need to let me put as long of a title as I want on this thing! I hate when I find a perfect quote and it's too long...frustration!

Ok now...this post is just to finish up our Memorial Day Weekend adventures! As you've seen from my previous posts, Saturday we did shopping and swimming followed by an AMAZING dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, Sunday we went to church and went on a lovely walk on the beach, and Monday we went down to Long Beach and met my birth dad and his wife at the aquarium and spent the day down there!

The aquarium wasn't too bad, smaller than I was expecting so that was a little disappointing but it was still fun to see all the animals and fishes and such! Probably our favorite part was seeing the seal/sea lion's do there little show, they're so funny!


She was just....what IS that?!?!? So fun to watch her discover new things!



Then it was fun to see all the colors of fish and all the weird creatures. My favorite was this dragon seahorse...SO weird!!!!



And then all our "Finding Nemo" friends were there too...

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!

Fish are friends, not food!


Just keep swimming!!!


After the aquarium we walked around the harbor for a bit and then ate an amazingly yummy dinner at Famous Dave's BBQ, which is now my new favorite BBQ place! SOOOO good and SO much food! Overall it was a very fun day and it was great to see Michael and Terrie. They love seeing Evelyn! IT was also great to get out of our little area for a while! I've never been in this part of CA so it's fun to explore it and enjoy all it has to offer! It was especially nice to have a "long" weekend and do something fun with Mark! We're kinda bummed that the 4th of July is on a Sunday this year cuz that means he doesn't get any extra days off for the holiday! :( Such a bummer....

Here's a few more pics from the day...


She was so tired!
