Todd Girls' Weekend 2015, Catalina Island

Setting sail out of Balboa early on Friday Morning

We enjoyed snorkling and swimming at Hamilton Cove's little beach

We enjoyed sitting in this nice big spa   

Heidi got a tiny bag of candy for $8 and I got a Carmel apple big enough for all of us at the candy store with the taffy in the window.

On our first night there, Asher left a hilarious pleading Voxer message, with a shaky voice to Heidi,  "Daddy locked me in a closet and says he'll hit me with a broomstick if I come out.......Please come home."   That little boy is a natural actor and Ned (a great father) has the craziest sense of humor!

Hamilton Cove 1-77  -- where we stayed:

    

We at lots of yogurt breakfasts on this sweet balcony

We watched this "Downtown", video -- over and over....Macklemore & Ryan Lewis from the Tonight Show..we watched this video and the girls sang this song all weekend...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crMaqT7_vbg  

  

   

Deer Glen -- we had to drive through a herd of deer everywhere we went

We sat near Billy Zane at dinner while dining on the water at Bluewater Grill and loved our waiter, Matt

We stayed and watched the feature movie, "The Benefactor"

We at a LOT of chocolate covered bananas (with lots of nuts) from Big Olaf's

50 cent water - everywhere

Smugglers Gulch Trail/Garden to Sky Loop

I asked this hiker (Habibi) if he had any extra food in his big backpack. (I didn't bring food and was dying on the long, long hike)....this guy saved me with carbs -- the apple came from another kind hiker.

April with Lucas Till -- from the X-Men, the Miley Cyrus Movie and more

All in all, it was really a wonderful weekend....lots of walking, fun, eating, but most of all, lots and lots of love, laughter and bonding.
