California in the Spring 2011 - 1

Upon arrival, thinking that we would be hitting some gorgeous California weather, we landed into LAX with some light drizzles. Boo! As much as I can remember, rain = storm in southern California terms. And life just stops. So I took advantage of it to declutter my things here at home, which is a work in progress. We also tried to get some shopping out of the way, which is also a work in progress! The sales are never-ending and seem glorious when you do your dollar to euro conversions.

Carpet! We love you, plush textile floor covering. For some cushiness underneath our bodies. Let's roll around!
Woo! Filipino old wives' tale says that if your kid starts doing this, he or she is looking for a smaller sibling. And we've gotten the hint from plenty of friends and family, thank you.
Now let's do it in the mirror.
Warehouse heaven at Costco. Fernando tries out a 3D television.I know this isn't that new, but I still find this technology in price tagging interesting.
Taqueria!!!!!!!!! This deserves those exclamation points. Tacos al pastor, carnitas, lengua... Triple slurp!
Mituswa. This is a Japanese marketplace that has a variety of groceries, appliances, books and an area of restaurants of your choosing. The faux food displays are a fun way to pick your meal. I miss this!
We met up with our friend Kim, who gave P an Easter bunny.
Then we went to the market side. Innocent, doe-eyed Japanese models try to sell you their hair color.
Roll cellulite out of your legs. Magic!
We also went to the American supermarket. Has anyone seen this? The variety of Cheerios.
What about the Dunkin' Donuts to make at home. Am I sounding too overenthusiastic now?
My dad likes taking shots of Paloma in front of the flowers in supermarkets. Here's Fernando's shot.
Back at home. Paloma exploring again.Sharing the housework too. How great!
