The weather in Southern California has been amazing. Sorry to all of you that don’t live here, but today? Eighty degrees. It’s our reward for dealing with traffic and potential earthquakes.
My parents came to spend the day with Maddie and me, and we took full advantage of the beautiful weather. We had a delicious lunch, did some window shopping, and then we went to the cliffs that overlook Santa Monica beach. The setting sun warmed the air that blew in from the ocean. Hard to believe it’s January when we’re wearing sun dresses and flip flops.
We’ll enjoy this weather while we can, because next week it will be cold again. California winters are more schizophrenic than California actresses.

I don’t really know why there is a cannon in Santa Monica. I guess they have to be prepared in case Malibu invades.

Maddie loves her grandparents.
You really should move here.

Trust me, I have tried to convince my husband moving there would be a good thing but he is a nut job and thinks it’s perfectly OK to live in a place that the current temperature is -35 degrees with the wind chill. (I have the ice and snow on my blog to prove the weather sucks here) BRRRRR.
BTW, great picture of Maddie with the grandparents.

It’s so weird to read about that – when I am looking outside at the frozen tundra that is my home – and not looking forward to the -35 windchill today…..I wanna be where you are!

Love the sun worship picture.
It is minus 17 with a windchill factor of minus 35. That is cold. But your post made me feel warm.

My husband is dying to move out there- but alas, way too complicated! Great pictures- your parents look like really good people.

I so miss So Cal winter. I love the shots, especially the last one with your parents and Maddie.

School is cancelled today here because of the massive crazy windchill. My husband is home from work and my mother’s car wouldn’t start. It’s safe to say that I am now drinking hat-or-ade on you and your beautiful “sun” and “warmth.”

That looks amazing. I have to confess, though, that I love winter. I might curse it occasionally, like today when I was unloading groceries in 18 deg weather, but I love the smell in the air when it’s cold. That crispness. The smoky smell from fireplaces. It really is divine.

I love the picture of Maddie, K and L. SOOO cute!
I am in So Cal now because I got sick of the cold weather in Nor Cal. Granted, Nor Cal was only about 10-20 degrees colder than So Cal (so what… 63 degrees or so during the day?), but really, why not live 20 minutes away from Disneyland? It’s the happiest county on earth!
Oh. I’m sorry…were there words in this post? I was just in love with that picture of Maddie…is beautiful! And you? Look JUST like your dad, holy cow.
