In September, Mike’s parents came out for his birthday and we went to Catalina Island for the day.  Catalina is about 30 miles off the coast of California and is a neat, beautiful getaway!  It took about a one hour boat ride to get to the island, and everything is just so relaxed and not like LA.  We left on the first boat out for the day, so we got to see the sunrise over the Pacific.  It was wonderful!
