I love L.A…

With temps between 75 – 80 degrees, who wouldn’t!  Mateo and mommy flew to So Cal to visit our family and friends for a couple of days.  Mateo was super excited to get on a plane, although, I don’t know if he knew we were actually up in the air… all I can say, is thank you Buzz Lightyear!  Toy Story saved us from a very long flight from Ohio to California.

Mateo enjoyed the weather playing with his cousin Diego and spending lots of time with Tia Hilda… and of course, eating lots of great food!  We also had an opportunity to take Mateo to the beach for the first time.. we went to Hermosa Beach with Brianna and Mateo loved it!  Mateo was a little unsure about the feel of the sand on his feet or the ocean waves crashing, but did not want to leave when it was time to go home.  I’m sure he will be surfing these waters sometime in his future.  By the time we flew home, Mateo and mommy were exhausted and missing daddy very much.  We left LA at 80 degrees and arrived in Columbus at 12 degrees.  Welcome home.
