Passports

Before we could make the trek to Mexico in July we had to take care of one minor detail...

Passports.

Benson's whole family has theirs since they have been going for years - just in case. I, however, did not have one. We didn't find out that they now were needed to cross the border until a few weeks before we left. So we decided to take a trip to LA to the regional passport office to get it the same day rather than risking it not coming on time.

Danny, a friend coming with us to Mexico, didn't have one either so we made a trip out of it.

We made our first stop in San Diego so we could go here...

and eat breakfast
here
{if you ever go to PB you must eat here -it's amazing}
we walked on the beach and found some giant seaweed

Then headed over to Balboa park to look at the art museums and so I could take some of these...
