Jack and I just home from California. Mina is HOME!!! We took her ashes back to the place she loved the most in the world, Santa Monica. She was buried there with Jack’s Dad. It was a beautiful SoCal day – lots of sunshine and ocean breezes. We all spoke of our love for and memories of her. A special day!
We also had time to enjoy a bit of the area and spend lots of time with family and friends.
Jack and I went to the SeaBee Museum in Point Hueneme, their home base. How interesting to learn of their mission!
We watched the sailboats come and go at Ventura Harbor.
And took our niece and nephew to Channel Islands National Park visitor’s center. A trip out to those islands is on the list for the next trip West!
Kristen’s dogs, Romeo and Vinnie. There is a new puppy, too, that I missed getting a picture of, Lacey, a 2 1/2 pound rescue!
We celebrated Jack’s birthday….
with Vegan cupcakes! You can tell he is excited!!
Kristen’s daughter, Lena, brought her dog, Tito!
We sat in the sun, walked on the beach and played in the surf.
Cousins!!
And, we celebrated Mina’s life at a luncheon in Ventura with friends and family. It was such a lovely time. We are blessed with a great family! That’s Jack with his brother and sister.
Rest in peace, dear, sweet Mina. I will always miss you!
