Our very California Day.

Today we went to the Claremont Botanical Garden. Its basically a nature trail with plants and trees identified for you, which is good for me. Sully enjoyed it more then we thought he would, we figured he would enjoy just being outside and being able to run around, but he was actually looking at trees and cactus. He especially loves Palm Trees.

Afterwards we went into Claremont for lunch. Claremont is a college town, its also the town where Mike grew up, anyway, so its full of hippies and young people who like to eat organic food and have acupuncture and drink colon cleansing juice drinks made of dandylion greens, beet juice and who knows what else. There were quite a few amusing people that we saw, but the best was a kid, maybe nine or ten years old. He was balancing his body, lenghwise on a metal rail that went up some stairs. Mike and I were sitting in the car with the windows down and were watching the kid, thinking, this kid is pretty weird, but he's got mad balancing skills. After a while, his Mom came out of the holistic shop were she was presumably buying voodoo crystals and mojo mixings and said to the kid "what are you doing?" his answer? "I'm Meditating" Only in California.










He discovered his shadow during the road trip and has become obsessed with it.







This was my lunch, I am becoming one of them. Next thing you know I will be wearing leggings and saying "like fer sure."

He would not get out of this thing the whole time we were at the park, he pretened it was a car.
