I'm 7 years older than G & K...

These tide pools are full of fun anemones & sea life.

Shopping in London.... oops, I mean Laguna

Going to the firm's big banquet dinner at the resort

The view from our room's balcony


The Montage


This beach here is so cool. I love this natural arch.




Gallagher & Kennedy turned 30 & they took us all to Laguna Beach to celebrate at the 5 star resort "Montage." It was Spectacular! We almost didn't go because Clark Kent (CK) thought he was too busy at work & also wanted to go camping with Ian's scout troop (on my birthday!-- what?) So I cancelled the tickets, but then his mom called him up and helped him see the light! Hooray for Carol! We had a wonderful time walking the town, combing the tide pools, eating FAB food, swimming & enjoying our luxurious room complete with plush robes, slippers & 17 different bath potions. CK works witht the coolest people & I love their wives! One night we ate at Cafe Zoolu which boasts the best swordfish on the planet (says Zagat) and the worst waitress (says us). We called her the Swordfish Nazi, but dinner was worth it.

(Note to self--who has the worst memory I know--) Things I want to remember: sharing Nacho's & reading Goose Girl while Superman works, seeing Kevin & Karsen Cranney & their beautiful girls for a few hours of beach & swimming, eating lunch at the Greek Aegean Cafe, the lemongrass lotion in our room, meeting Dana Reynolds at dinner & talking religion (she's Jewish & married to a Catholic), the fresh granola, yogurt & berries for breakfast, and flying home with Beth Broadfoot who has airplane fears combined with a healthy sense of superstition and has worn the same exact outfit (including underwear) each & every time she has flown for the past 18 years. (Lucky for her I think those stirrup pants are coming back in style!) Best of all, getting 2 full days & nights with the best husband in the world!

What a FANTASTIC trip! Sons should always listen to their mother. Good job Curtis- you definitely deserved a little R & R (and Aimee who is the super-mom of 4!)

Are you serious about the lady on your flight?? Oh my gosh, how bizarre.

Isaac and Joey are so cute all locked up on the coop! I miss those little boys. I am sad I didn't get to see the Merrills.

Thanks for updating! We MISS you guys so much!

Sorry I haven't checked your blog for a while- but that looks like the greatest trip....so jealous! I'm so glad you got to go- and that's the funniest story about the lady on the plane with the same underwear for 18 years....sick!
