Adventures with Nika!

This past week, our friend Nika flew out from Athens to visit us and we had a great time showing her some of our favorite places as well as discovering new ones. Over several days, we did a lot of hiking in the hills around our home:













However, one of the highlights from the week included boating out to Catalina Island and hiking to the top of a mountain....the view was breathtaking ( as was the hike:) ). We could see a 360 degree view of mountains and ocean on both sides!








After doing some relaxing, we visited China Town and then decided to head to the beach:











As we were walking along we noticed a guy "playing" in the sand, so we stopped to ask what he was doing. That simple question landed us an opportunity to sand sculpt with a professional. We completed a sand sculpture for Starbucks who was hosting a team building session for their executives from across the country!











So...7 hours later, with sore muscles and fatigue, we were able to see the finished product that we had worked so hard on. It was such an awesome experience!



We had a great week and to see more pictures, visit our Picasa album:
