We left Arizona Wednesday morning to go to California for two nights. We drove to Long Beach (south LA, took 6h) and took a ferry from there to Catalina Island. The ferry ride took 1,5h. Catalina island is a small island outside LA with barely any cars, and just a small town called Avalon where we (swedish mom, american mom and dad and me) spent two nights. The weather was foggy and called most of the time, with some sunshine on Thursday. We walked around ate a lot of good food: sea food, mexican food, american burgers etc. On thursday I went on a boat ride in a submarine, You sat and looked out through big windows and saw all that was going on under the surface of the ocean.. Really cool, saw a lot of different fishes and sea plants that were as big as trees! We also rented a golf cart and went around the island and saw some pretty views. Then I saw dolphins for the first time! there were hundreds of them swimming in the ocean when were on the ferry on our way home. Think we all had a great time!
Came home Friday night, the dog was very happy to see us again :) Saturday started with a good breakfast and then show Mamma around the school. Then we headed to Scottsdale were we visited the house of the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. After the tour of the house we had some mediterranean food before driving to the airport. Much easier to say goodbye to mamma this time when I know I'm gonna see her in 2 months than last time when we said goodbye for 10 months instead...
Has been a good week of spring break!
