Behind us is Avaon, the tourist city on Catalina Island.So Scott thought it would be more fun to walk to the Wrigley monument, so off we went. He assured me that it wasn't far...check out the picture below...we started at the ocean and ended where I took the picture...about 3 miles round trip. I loved walking, but this was all uphill. Scott got to push the stroller up and I pushed it down! :)
This was the Wrigley monument...for those of you who ever visit Catalina...take our advice...don't visit the monument!
Obviously Matthew was thrilled about this tour! :)This was not the botanical gardens I was picturing...gardens are suppose to be green! This was like botanical dirt and brush! Man I miss the East coast green! :(
Scott and Matthew at the Wrigley monument/concrete building!
The Submarine
We went on a boat that had windows and seats on the bottom, so you could look out under the ocean. It was a lot of fun and Matthew really enjoyed it...he made it more fun for all the other people that were on the boat with us because he was squealing and hitting the windows at the fish! He was probably entertaining the fish too! :)
He loved hitting the windows!
Under the sea!
Matthew had a blast on this adventure! Watch the video below...
Matthew's most favorite part about our vacation was chasing the pigeons!!! Watch the video below!
We had to keep Matthew's blanket over his stroller for most of the trip because it was pretty cold and the wind was blowing, but Matthew thought it was a lot of fun to "hide" from us and was very excited when we would pop in and say "PEEK-A-BOO"!
Boys and their toys!
We go on vacation and guess what we find on TV...the BYU football game!!! What could be better than that?! Matthew watched it with us until he went to bed!P.S. Dad...they won!!! that's a 7-2 record for the season! Rararara! GO COUGARS! :)
He loves to put things behind his head!
Matthew and Mommy at dinner! (which Matthew actually slept through; he woke up at the end! It was really nice...like dinner alone!:)
Daddy and Matthew on the boat!Although sitting wasn't as much fun as walking up and down the isles smiling and flirting with anyone that would look at him! :)
(Which was just about everyone...his smile is quite contagious!)
This was the ferry we took out to the island and back!He doesn't look very excited about our trip, but we had a great time!

What a fun trip! Catalina is definitely much better in the winter than in the summer.
It looks like Catalina was awesome! Little vacations are always needed!!! We can definitely see the joy that Matthew brings to you and Scott!! We love you!
Thanks for the tip on the "monument." And if you want a quick trip to the snow, come visit me. On second thought, we would have to time it just right because we average about a foot of snow a year and we got it all last time mom came to town. And that was just luck! But its cold! I can offer you that! Love you all!
