On the 26th we packed our car and drove to LA. We had a late lunch in Soledad, near the mission.
Next Stop was in Pismo Beach, Leilani “surfed”
We went for a walk and picked up flowers in a Christmas Bag (Someone had gone through, picked and tossed a lot of flowers before, conveniently someone else had also dropped a bag. and Leilani needed all the flowers. They are dry and ready for crafts now.)
The Santa Barbara Mission…
…had a Nativity scene with live animals…
…and a beautiful rosegarden full of other little kids to play with.
Leilani took some unique photos at the rose garden. I call this “No Rose Without Dorns”. She actually wanted the photo to be cropped when she saw how it had turned out.
