Once in awhile-now and again-this is us

hi everyone,

it’s been awhile since i’ve posted a new page in our blog. so here goes.

i hope you all had a very nice Christmas. we did as we got together, the few that we have now, at tony’s house. hannah couldn’t make it, but jessica was down from oregon and joined us. we had a good time. the girls opened their presents and thuy made delicious homemade chili with all the trimmings. yum.

we took jessica to the science center while she was here. we hadn’t been in a long time and i thought she would enjoy it. we asked our good friends and neighbors to go with us. we found out, that some 20 years ago while at the science center, they had decided to stay in california. they were all set to go to oklahoma, but decided california might be a better state to settle in. boy are we glad.

we all got in the coach and headed to the science center. it was a beautiful day. no rain.

and of course we always stop for starbucks.

we went to the imax first. we saw the movie ‘a beautiful planet’ about the space station and what it sees of the earth from space. it was absolutely  fascinating. we all enjoyed it.

there were lots of photo opportunities.

our neighbors, frank and linda

we had some fun before going to the ‘endeavor exibit’.

the science center is a wonderful place for kids and adults alike. we had a lot of fun. the food was really good too. we were looking forward to seeing the space shuttle endeavor. we had watched it fly over long beach as it came in to los angeles.

stay tuned for the endeavor
