Not the best for pics, but we had a wonderful Christmas and New Year with our California family. There was one major mishap as Merlin (dog) swallowed an entire 8" steak bone and needed emergency surgery on Christmas Day. Fortunately, he is ok and recovering.

We visited the Reagan Library & Museum where we were able to walk through Air Force One, see his original motorcade, and view a steel support from 9/11 as well as an original piece of the Berlin Wall along with many historical tributes and a memorial to recently deceased George H.W. Bush.
Below are pictures from the Griffith Observatory we visited and enjoyed going to one of the planetarium presentations.

Hard to believe , a month has gone by. We have been busy as we were watching Scotty, our 2 year old grandson, while baby brother Luke was born and trying to help out as much as we could. Wouldn't trade the time we had for anything in the world!

, We did go to the Getty Museum (great view of LA), LA Zoo and Autry Museum (where you can even star in your own Western) at Griffith Park on our off times.
