Sue and John abandoned the kids and went off to Southern California for a week. Here's a few pics.
Stayed at a friend's beach house at a place called Sea Cliffs between Ventura and Santa Barbara for a couple of days.

John's hard at it too. The lawn is of a handy, no-mow,
sand type.

Here's a view from Mulholland drive looking down over a very

If you look very carefully through the smog, you can see the
Hollywood sign up in the hills.
