Kite Flying in Ventura (by careygly)

Before our cruise last weekend we walked over to the beach to fly Patrick’s kite. It was Mina’s first time flying a kite and it was a great day for it!

Another great dinner with great friends in Santa Barbara. More here.

Such a beautiful day in Santa Barbara. More here.

We made it to Pacifica, just as the last light of day was waning. Patrick was happy to see us! Happy New Year~

It was great having all of our GLY friends here this week. Thanks for coming everyone! More here.
