The Namm Show 2015.

Every January we get to go to the Namm Show in Anaheim, California.  Normally we stay at the Howard-Johnson right down the street, but this year we stayed at the Marriott in Fashion Island.  On the drive there we stopped at the Cabazon Outlets.  Cora needed some out of the car time.

Rest stop at Cabezon.

The last couple of times we've gone to California we've stopped at Randy's Donuts in LA.  They have the most amazing glazed donuts.  It's a fun tradition we finally got to share with Cora!

The next day we went to the Namm show to meet with the piano dealers.  Cora somehow fell asleep while we were there.  She has this gift to fall asleep no matter how loud it is if she was tired enough. (ie a concert!)

After the show we went to Mimi's cafe with Chuck's dad (another tradition) before heading to the Fashion Island mall!  We tried some chocolate from Switzerland (amazing) and a couple macaroon.

After the mall we went to dinner at a place called Taco Mesa in Costa Mesa.  It was pretty good.

The next we got to spend time with my dear friend Haylan!  Usually I only get to see her once a year, but she was in Arizona for Christmas so we got to see each other a few weeks earlier.  We had breakfast a Ruby's and then headed to Costa Del Mar beach.  It was absolutely gorgeous!

This was Cora's second time to go to the beach but the first time she's put her feet in the water.  I love being able to share the state I grew up in with her.  We are for sure lucky to live so close.  It was overall an amzing trip!
