california!

i'm awful - i jumped right into birthday weekend and totally skipped our trip to california!  for shame.  over columbus day weekend i took a day off (hugh sigh) and we flew out to LA for the weekend to hang out with family.  thanksgiving we will be in new york, christmas we will be here in colorado, and so that meant we wouldn't be able to see the family and little man until at least 2012.  and that would not do.  so for philip's birthday we received two airline tickets courtesy of my generous father-in-law.

we flew in late on friday night and stayed in santa monica with philip's father and step-mother.  saturday we were able to sleep in, take a lovely walk through the city, and go see the ides of march.  huzzah!  the rest of the weekend we stayed at the martino nest, aka my sister-in-law's house.  it was awesome.  here are a few pictures of our lovely weekend away.  enjoy!  :)
