We got to visit LA again to see everyone for the New Year.
Marjan and Jim got a beautiful new home and invited us to stay with them.
As soon as we got there (a short 5 hr drive from San Jose), Darius and I started the vacation the right way…

Darius wanted to swim right away, but we made him wait till the next day…

By the way, here’s the view we got to enjoy everyday from Jim and Marjan’s new house…

Before swimming, we made Darius visit with family first…

I think Bauback has more white hairs than me only because he has more hair…
