Long Beach

We drove down to long beach to visit the Thacker relatives. It was very nice. They bought lunch for everyone and we enjoyed a fun tour of homes thru their 3 properties. Brother Jim was there from Minnesota as was Michael, the son of Jack. Their homes were beautiful but the nicest part was just how welcoming and hospitable  they are. 

We walked down the street to the beach and enjoyed a few minutes of play time. 

Then we went to the Queen Mary. None of us had ever been. It was okay. Run down and super expensive. The group took a "ghost tour" but I thought it would be too scary for Penny so we went to a 4D movie of Sponge Bob instead, then we talked like jelly fish. Dani had stayed in the car with a napping baby boy and when he woke up they strolled around looking at the ducks and the lighthouse and the water. 

After we drove home we stopped at Outback for dinner. Sierra and Tatum, who weren't feeling well and didn't come with us, met us there and we had a fun family dinner.

 It was a fun, long day.
