Dan's Visit

Dan Lowery paid us a couple days' visit after his music-playing stint in Las Vegas. We were glad to welcome our first guest and family member to our California home! 

A self proclaimed "sucker for sunsets," Dan was very excited to play frisbee on the beach at dusk his first night with us. 

Cool ship coming in to harbor right as the sun went down. 

Supposedly this is how you mimic the odd Dr. Seuess trees outside our apartment. Don't forget your suit coat and your gym shorts!

Liz, very excited about the bright yellow matching mountain bikes we rented to ride the Ventura River Trail, one of the most scenic in our area.

Off-roading...the guys couldn't resist a hill we passed. Gotta test out those mountain bikes!

The next day, hiking Pt. Mugu - the tallest peak in the Santa Monica mountains.

On a break mid-hike, Liz climbed a tree higher than she could handle. Chris to the rescue!

Not the peak yet, but almost there! It was a great hike. 

We cooled off on the way home by stopping at the beach. Daniel happily donned the wetsuit we found for him at the thrift store for $3! 

After fully plunging in the freezing water, Dan gives the wet-suit an A+! He was especially happy to be in the water after we spotted some curious seals bobbing their heads up very close by. 

BALDERDASH! None of us had ever played this 1980's classic (thrift store - one buck!). We won't forget the laughs we had....highly recommended by us all! 

We had a great time, Dan! Thanks for visiting!
