Carmel, California

Last weekend Mike and I flew out to CA to visit some of our best friends, Jack & Mel Sanofsky and Aaron & Viv.  When we lived in Rexburg we seriously hung out all the time.  Mike and I have been wanting to have a reunion with our Rexburg married friends for quite some time, so we took the first opportunity we had since Ashlyn was born and headed out to see them.  It was one of the funnest trips Mike and I have ever been on.  Here are pictures of our vacation...and let me tell you, it FELT like a vacation!

  Jack and I combined our pictures so there are A LOT of pictures. Just warning you.

We stayed at Jack and Mel's place in Carmel.  They know how to treat their guests right.  This was waiting on our bed when we got there. How sweet us that?

After the aquarium we played golf at a course nearby.  Us girls had a blast driving the carts. We got scolded a couple times for talking during the guys' back swings. Haha! We even played a few holes with them.

So this tree is famous because it is the logo for Pebble Beach Golf Course.  We stopped here along the "17 Mile Drive."

Every day was action packed and filled with lots of fun and lots of laughter.  Definitely what we needed.  Don't you love when you haven't been around your friends for a while and then you get back together it's like you saw them yesterday?  That's how it is with this group.  We love them so much and look forward to our next vacation together.  Thanks again for the amazing trip!!! We love you guys so much!!!!

Love,
Mike and Les
