A large portion of the Loera clan headed to Long Beach to celebrate Eddie’s birthday. He wanted to check out the Aquarium Of The Pacific with all of his grandkids. Marco and Cesar couldn’t make it but the rest of the grandkids were there and had a great time.

Big Trees

We took the boys to Sequoia to see the General Grant Tree and Hume Lake. It is unbelievably beautiful in the forest surrounded by the giant trees. Gavin loves the “big trees” and asks to go see them almost everyday. Every time we go it is so hard to leave.

Lets Go Dodgers

Sections: Gavin, Photos, Travel — Posted @ 11:11 am by Chris

We met my brother Nick, his wife Jessie, our aunt Susie, and our cousin Sara in LA for the 3rd game of the new Dodgers season. I’m not sure how much of the game Gavin understood but he seemed to have fun. He really enjoyed all the clapping to try to break the Dodgers out of their funk. Unfortunately, it didn’t work, and they got creamed 10 to 0.

Day Trip To SLO

Sections: Gavin, General, Photos, Travel — Posted @ 9:45 pm by Chris

We decided to spend the day in San Luis Obispo to celebrate Aliciana’s birthday. We started off our day trip with lunch at one of our favorite eating spots: Firestone Grill. Then we took a stroll around downtown SLO and showed Gavin the creek that runs through the city.

Cal Poly was deserted because of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend so we decided to show Gavin our old stomping grounds. Gavin had a blast running around campus. We let him run wild around the Computer Science building and Dexter lawn. Then we walked around the rose garden near the Business building and checked out the new additions to Mustang Stadium.

We finished up our SLO trip with a drive around Avila and Shell Beach. After watching the sun set we headed back into SLO for dinner at Pepe Delgado’s.

Going to SLO is always bittersweet because it reminds us how much we miss living there. But, you never know how the future is going to turn out, and someday we might be able to afford to live there again. Until that day, we will just have to make as many trips there as possible to hang out and soak up the ‘SLO life’.

Aliciana, Gavin, and I spent a long weekend in Santa Barbara to celebrate our friends Brooke and Lance’s wedding. On Saturday we spent the afternoon walking around Solvang’s Dogtoberfest celebration. Gavin got to see lots of cute dogs and some wiener dog races. We finished off the afternoon with a delicious lunch at the Solvang Restaurant.

San Diego Wild Animal Park

We took Gavin to the San Diego Wild Animal Park for a warm day of looking at animals. One of the coolest experiences we had was a greeting from a wild deer who came into the park looking for food. Gavin also loved the elephants, which turned out to be the special animal of this trip.

After going to the park we picked up his cousin Raul so Gavin could help him with his computer homework. Gavin is quite an expert at using the computer.
