The Manansala Family: Aunt Ashley comes to San Diego!!

Sorry in advance for the long post!

Ashley came out for almost two weeks!! We had lots of fun. We went up to LA to show her Hollywood, Beverely Hills and the Santa Monica pier. Except for a run in with Elmo it was a great time. I also was able to get to out a couple of nights for girls night. It was fun, but it makes me feel old when I go out two nights in a row and have to spend two whole days after that recovering!! Thanks for coming to visit Ashley!! We miss you! Oh and notice the cut on Kayleigh's nose??? Everytime a sister comes to visit, someone hurts their nose just in time for all the pictures!! Last time it was Sophie, when Wendy came to visit!

The only hands we could find that were close to thier size. Someone named "America's Boy" from 1931!!

They were having a memorial for the soldiers lost in the war. Every morning they carry in the "coffins" and at sunset they ask for volunteers to carry them back out. We knew it was to protest the war, but Paul and I also felt it was a moving tribute to the soldiers and sailors lost. We have quite a few corpsman friends over there.

Ashley and the girls on a ride. After riding the roller coaster, Ashley and Kayleigh were much happier to be on this ride!!
