Back to the O.C.

We took Leah to meet her great grandparents and assorted aunts and uncles.  I’m not sure she will remember it! 
In the process, she added both Nevada and California to her ever growing list of states she has been in.
We put the happy little family on an airplane to fly home while we continued our journey.
Since it was also our vacation, we decided to take some time for ourselves and do some things we wanted to do.
First on the list was revisiting Back Bay where a lot of bird watching hours were logged when we were in college.  Things have changed but there are still an abundance of birding opportunities.

I was feeling nosy and wanted to know what this fellow was painting.  I didn’t have my own binoculars so I used the next best thing. . . my camera . . . and I still couldn’t tell.  But I thought it made a good picture.

Since we lived there (a LONG time ago), a temple has been built.  We really wanted to see it (or at least I did and Paul was willing to take me there).  Sadly the grounds were closed but we could still see through the gate. . .

From there we headed to the shore to take a walk along the boardwalk. . .

and headed up the pier to see what we could see. .

and then we headed across the street to the spot where we had our first dinner out <3

All in all, I’d say it was a pretty good day!
