Heading west for the holidays

Zola's an experienced traveler now, and handled the airplane ride to California with ease. She really enjoyed the in-flight movie, Rush Hour 3.



Zola's first Christmas was in Ojai.


After opening presents, we headed to the beach in Ventura.


We spent most of the time in California lounging around.





Zola really took a liking to Grandma Rigby


We spent a lot of time with the Dottls in Ventura. Natalie, who is less than 4 weeks older, is Zola's new BFF. Since Natalie's parents were better photographers than Zola's, we invite you to check out Natalie’s blog for more awesome action-packed photos of the young BFF's.


We did venture out one night and drove down to Hollywood to visit the Griffith J. Griffith (yes, that was his real name) Observatory in L.A. The view was spectacular and Zola liked staying up late. She missed Ed.

For those of you (Mandy) who like to see other kinds of "stars" in Hollywood, the Griffith is a good place to start.

The Griffith is a good place to see REAL stars. The other kind (the ones filled with silicone, botox and restalyn) can be seen at lower altitudes...and also in fabulous Ojai. Isn't that what Catherine Zeta-Jones said, Dirk?

The Griffith is a good place to see REAL stars. The other kind (the variety that tends to be overinflated in self-worth and injected with botox and silicone) can usually be seen at lower altitudes or in fabulous Ojai. Isn't that what Mrs. Michael Douglas said, Dirk?

That's right, Jefe. Catherine wanted me when I saw her biking down the Ojai trail. Good thing Zola was there to keep her under control.

I think I fixed the links - post a comment if they don't work.

Once again we have been left out of the blog. There were other family members that Zola got to meet! Are we not photogenic or something...is that why you don't love us as much? Even if you didn't, we had a great time hanging out with Zola over Christmas. What a cutie!

I knew you guys were going to say that! I guess we didn't take any good pictures with you guys - we should of at least taken some road trip pictures!

I'm soooo happy for you Jana! Your daughter is beautiful! You look younger now than you did in High School! I'm glad I found your blog. I just started mine this week. Hope we can keep in touch.
