I was planning to post this on my second birthday but didn’t manage it in time 😉 Here it is, 6 minutes of my year between my 1st and 2nd birthday. Keep your expectations low as it is just iphone quality and random stuff found on my mom’s phone.

Mimi, Leon, Mommy and myself flew to LA to visit our Dearest Dana, Elliot, Liam and Deff (Jeff). We had a blast. Elliot has so many cool toys and a little dining table, a patio to play with bubbles, carpeted stairs and the softest rug in the world which I liked the most.
On the first day on the way to Dana we drove through Santa Monica and its wide sandy beach, then Toponga Canyon through the famous Mulholland Drive. I don’t think Moms enjoyed driving the highways as i heard lots of words I never heard before or maybe they were just very excited 😉

On the second day we spent all day on Hippie Venice beach in 36 Celsius. Nice ha? Elliot fell in love with ocean waters, Leon with eating sand, Liam with sleeping in my stroller and myself with destroying sand castles. The day after was the big LA day. We went to Griffith park to see the Observatory and the Hollywood sign. We took a hop on and off bus tour for 2 hours, sightseeing all the best of LA, and walked on the Hollywood Boulevard Stars. I found the Tom Cruise star and fell to my knees (see the picture). Together with Elliot we did some dancing with the stars while holding hands.

On the last day we relaxed at home and watched over poor Leon. It is a long story but to make it short, some nasty virus attacked him, not sure if it it was Halloween related or not.

It was very hard to say good bye but the good news is that Dana, Elliot and Liam are coming to Vancouver very soon.

Last weekend together with my Grandparents, Uncle Greg and Aunty Tomoko, we went to Whitbey island. We camped in the Rhododendron state park in the US in the most gorgeous forest. We took a ferry to Port Townsend and had the biggest ice cream i ever saw; we visited old historic part of Coopevile where I saw catfish and lots of fishki. On the campsite I helped uncle Greg with fire, gathering little sticks. Tomoczko was my private photographer all the pictures she took will be in the next post. This one has just my moms phone photography. Greg was entertaining us with fashion show. And I tried some cat walk moves too in my mom’s jacket.
Sleeping in the tent was a blast, the night was cold but I had all the layers possible and I slept in my jacket, next to Babcia and Dziadzia.
Oh and the Jacque Cousteau part in the title blog came from my dolls skirt which i decided to wear all weekend.
On the way home we were part of The 2012 Oyster run (motorcyclist’s gathering) by being stacked among thousands of motorbikes on the highway.
