Family Pictures

We gathered on the 6th floor deck to take official family photos.

While waiting, guess what Tom is doing?


Time to practice the picture taking...


OK, now everyone, get in place...

and here they are, the Renda clan.


Time for a different arrangement... but what is Katherine doing?


And once again, the Renda Clan !


Hmmm. Some hangers-on have strayed into the middle of the picture.

The Dive

Only one of us was energetic enough to do something active on this trip... the rest of us sat around and watched him...

Greg and his dive buddy approach the dive site... the only time one of us actually rode in a golf cart.



Amazingly, Tom is not playing with his BlackBerry.


The other Rendas wait as Greg suits up...

A view of the other side...

And a nice happy family picture.

Dive equipment, all ready to be put on.

And Greg is ready for his adventure.

A dive site where you stand in line on the stairs to get in...

and it is finally their turn.

Entering the briny deeps...

A friendly wave before submersion.

After Lunch

After lunch on the pier, we wandered around. Nick wandered in some very stylish shoes...

Some of us had chocolate dipped bananas for dessert.

This is the cutest little garbage truck I've ever seen...


Alex being tortured....

Obligatory picture posing...

What a surprise... look what Tom is doing.


Cool Catalina tiles:

Lunch on the Pier

We had to have fish and chips at least once on this trip....



Jeff and Julia wait patiently for their food.


The guy in the goofy hat has his food.


The guys wait for their food to be ready...



Yummy yummy!
The whole happy crew with their fish and chips...


This is *not* something you want to look up and see !

Up Up Up

These are all pictures taken from the road leading up to the Wrigley House... most reasonably named Wrigley Terrace Road.


Nice palm trees....

Nice view of the harbor....


Here is the Wrigley House... I think it is a B&B now.

Good view of our pink hotel.

Love the screaming turquoise buildings on the pier.

Final view of Wrigley House, complete with bird posing in tree.

More Tiles

Just because they are pretty, and because they are tiles.....

These were encountered at the bottom of the road that leads up to the Wrigley Mansion.

After Dinner

After dinner, the consensus was that ice cream was in order...

It was a little chilly outside, so Alex borrowed Aunt Julia's jacket. Doesn't he look stylish?

Look what Tom is doing :-)

A tile, who would have guessed? They are all over the place !

We went back to the gelato place next to the Mexican restaurant. Nick enjoys his ice cream, and Tom bonds with his CrackBerry.

The harbor, and the beach, are much more quiet in the evening... the end to a fun day.
