Some of my "regular blog readers" know that Hannah & Simon's Dad (David) passed away a couple months ago. Last weekend the kids and I took a trip to Los Angeles to spread David's ashes in the ocean as his last request.
David has some amazing friends, two brothers (Laurence & Keith) who took us out on a gorgeous sailboat to David's final resting place in the Channel Islands (Santa Cruz & Anacapa).
Along the way, we had a beautiful day on the Pacific Ocean, enjoying the weather and paying our last respects to Hannah & Simon's Dad. This blog post is a series of scenes from the day.......

I'm so sorry, I had no idea. What a great way to celebrate their dad's life.
May they always remember he is close to them and that they have you to get through the rough bumps.
My heart goes out to your children who are too young to loose a parent. My heart goes out to you, Sarah, as you help them through their grief.
I'm so sorry, Sarah. Hugs to you and your kids.
What a beautiful tribute to David....such a gorgeous view. Looks like the kids had a great time; it's nice to see their smiles. They are beautiful and will always carry a piece of David within them.
