Peanuts!

Santa Rosa was home to Charles Schulz, creater of the Peanuts comic strip from 1965 until his death in early 2000. This morning I was taking a drive around the area to get a better sense of the city, and started noticing statues of Peanuts characters all over the place. There's a Charles Schulz museum (maybe I'll have time to go to it tomorrow), but I wanted to share the photos of Snoopy, Lucy, Marcie and Woodstock.

(cameo!)

In the Barnyard

We're up in Santa Rosa for my sister's wedding, but I've taken a bit of time to shoot some of the local scenery. These barns look great on the Wine Country background, frozen in time.

Birthday Adventures in Pasadena

Teenie had her birthday this weekend, so Emmanuel and I took her out and about geocaching in Pasadena. Little did we know there'd be so many amazing things to find (except for caches, we only found 1 of the 3 we went out for).

First up is the house with the mosaic tiles the proudly declare the owner a professional in the movie industry.

We had "Zushi" for lunch - lots of fresh fish and tasty rice (and a happy little sister)

Finally we stopped at "Syrup" in Downtown Los Angeles for dessert that night - Teenie had a chocolate crêpe, I had an asian pear, bacon and gouda grilled cheese sandwich on walnut raisin bread, and Eman had this fancy latté with his crêpe.
