Walkabout

Time for some photography! Its not very exciting but it was a chance for me to take a nice walk with the kids and take pictures. :)

A few weeks ago my mom's car has been acting up, it would either not start or just die. The car was taken to the dealer where it was some obscure part that basically controls just about everything and it costs $1300 plus add a week to order the part. Wonderful.

So I needed to take my mom on her errands and she had scheduled eyelid surgery so she needed a driver anyway. We got through the week and the car is ready. During this week, H has never gotten over that nasty cold/cough going around and it came back with a vengeance on Friday. I managed to ask a friend to help me get my mom's car back to our house on Saturday because H was too sick to know what side was up.

starting point of our journey

Some bruising but her eyes look good.

By Sunday, I decided that I would drive mom's car to her house with the kids then we shall walk the 2.5 miles home. Tyler was agreeable while Josh was undecided but was soon won over with the promise of Starbucks on the way home.

This store name cracks me up.

Refreshment time

Non caffeine ice blended drinks.

It was actually a nice walk along Hawthorne Blvd where we got to see more of our fair city.

FYI: glass & mirror store

Kids enjoying their Starbucks

Part of our walk

When we reached 7-11 our walk becomes familiar since it's one of the kids 2 choices of 7-11's to go to. I believe that the clerks at both locations knot both my children. :)

We then enter Horizons, the senior living compound with a nine hole golf area.

Josh held on to his Starbucks cup all the way home, as you can see the drink level getting lower and lower as we get closer to home. :)

There are so many photos to post to I made a photo mosaic.
