Our Trip to L.A.
In recent months, we experienced a glorious 3 weeks in So Cal while a late winter continued to drag on in Hamburg (thankfully, the sun is now back in business here in Deutschland). While it was primarily a working trip for me, we did squeeze in some R&R which is pictorally documented below.

Sophie went through a short phase where daddy’s belly was the only comfortable place to slumber:

A few marvelous afternoons were spent at beautiful Crystal Cove (just north of Laguna Beach):

As a sidenote, Crystal Cove is known for the famous California beach cottages which were saved from destruction and are now being slowly restored under the oversight of the California National Parks:

At this cottage, the movie Beaches was filmed:

A sweet shot:

Soenke and Sophie do what they do best!

Enjoying the sunshine:

My beloved Pacific Ocean:

Then, off to my bro & sis-in-law’s casa for a birthday party:

Since the party’s theme was “Superhero”, Sophie put on her crown (there’s got to be SOME superhero out there that wears a crown, right?)

And, finally, we leave you with a few videos:
