First airplane ride & last visit to Lompoc, California (February 2013)

Well, Shelby's Great Grandmother Williams passed away on January 31, 2013. We flew to California for the funeral.
  


She did great on the flights to and from California. She ended up sleeping the majority of both flights.

I think Grandmother would have loved what Shelby wore to her funeral. She looked too cute!

Growing up we would always visit family in Lompoc and when we were there we would always go to a little Danish town called Solvang. While in Solvang, it is a family tradition to take a picture in the wooden shoe that is outside a shoe store. We also take pictures in front of the Solvang windmill. Well, I couldn't let Shelby miss those experiences.

My granddaddy is buried in Morro Bay, CA. So we drove there to bury my grandmother's ashes with him. When in Morro Bay we always see the Morro Bay rock and feed the seal lions. Once again, what kind of mother would I be if I didn't let Shelby do those things too?!

While in California Shelby got to meet Uncle Paul and cousin Alison. They just loved her. Uncle Paul loved rocking her in the mornings before everyone was awake.

Every time we would visit Lompoc we always took pictures outside Grandmother's house. 


I almost forgot to mention the wonderful visit we had with Shelby's Great Aunt Lee (my mom's aunt) in New Braunfels, before we left for California. It was so great to see her again. I think the last time I saw her I was in high school? She just loves Shelby to pieces.
