We also went to Solvang, Bodega Bay, Death Valley, San Juan Battista, Carmel and more so we have explored a bit of the state.  The fence in our backyard was depressing me so we were lucky enough to buy a fractional share of a condo on the beach!  We got a 2nd  granddaughter who is all giggles and love and a grandson we'll get to know after this pandemic called the coronavirus leaves .  The first baby seems all grown up. She is a princess, thinks she is a princess and has way too many pr
