Visitors

Last week we enjoyed a visit from my (Marilyn's) MN cousins. Jane and Shirley and their husbands came to visit for a few days before they left on a cruise to Hawaii.

We did alot of visiting while they were here, but we also did some sight-seeing. One afternoon we visited the Crystal Cathedral. This is the first time that we've taken the tour and actually heard some of the history behind the building.

The structure and the grounds are awesome.

We even enjoyed a little shopping time in the bookstore...

Jane and Steve in the atrium just outside of the bookstore.

Next to the parking lot, we saw a large grove of Bird of Paridise plants. They are such a beautiful sign of spring!

Another day we visited the Nixon Library. The day was sunny, but a little bit windy, so we appreciated being inside. (Above: Roger and Shirley, Steve and Jane)

It was interesting to be able to walk among the statues of some of the world leaders that President Nixon had encountered during his time in office. We were told the statues were made life-size from a light-weight substance, the clothing was real and then the figurine was "bronzed."

Our guests were very happy to enjoy the warmth and sunshine of SoCal and be away from the snow and sub-zero temps they had left behind in Minnesota!

On Saturday AM, bright and early, we accompanied the cousins to LAX where they boarded a plane to Hawaii where they would cruise around the islands for the coming week. It was a great few days that we had together and we really appreciated them taking the time to stop by our house on the way to the islands!
Thanks for the fun visit!
