Topanga Days

We have been waiting for this day for years now… every Memorial Day we go to the yearly Topanga Days Music Festival, we have been doing so for the last 4-5 years and every year we say “next time we will be here with a baby, next year”… well this year and this concert were very special for us b/c we finally have a baby (well, as much as 18 months sill count for a baby) with us. It was Vanie’s 1st Topanga Concert with all the hippies and every happy soul you can think of. The day was great and so was the concert and we are just happy that we finally checked off this one item off our lists.

1st trip to the Zoo

Aaah, it was so much fun going to the zoo for the 1at time. We decided do a test zoo visit earlier this month as we weren't sure how well Vanie will take it - so we went to the Santa Ana Zoo. It's a fairly small and inexpensive zoo. The trip was a hit and the biggest surprise was an elephant ride. Vanie got on the elephant with Jason but I think Jason was more excited than Vanie ( you can judge for yourself by your pictures). Of course, Vanie thought he was on a horse and apparently kept saying “dee” to the elephant while on here which is the Bulgarian word for “giddyup”. He is bing on pretending to ride a horse. Next trip will be the big San Diego Zoo.

Here are a few pix for our trip:

Not much to say here except - enjoying another beautiful day in So Cal and a few nice pictures...
