the island

we just barely got back from our vacation to look-alike LOST island off the coast of southern California and let me tell you, it was won-der-ful.  we spent almost all of our time either laying on the beach or as my sister pointed out in her comment on my last post - eating eating eating.  fish and chips were tanner's personal favorite and i loved the endless supply of ice cream cones.  as i predicted, we laid on the beach, we read books {i started and almost finished The Help and am loving it}, we hiked to a view of the ocean, we peddle-boated {and had a seal swim right up next to us}, hunted for bison but never found any, relaxed and ate ate ate.  and i have to admit, we did spend an embarrassing amount of time comparing Catalina to LOST.  we might have even figured out where the Other's live.  

and of course, here are some pictures...

now it is back to everyday life and i am already missing the beach.
