I Love You, California!

I had to get a little representation of the kitties up here. After all, they made the big trek out here just like we did, and they should get a little credit for that! Here is Ava modeling our Joe Biden koozies. Cheers Champ! And here is Aurora's new favorite spot in the house. So cute!

This weekend we had some beautifully warm weather, so we wanted to take advantage of that and do some exploring in the city!
