Christmas Lights at the Long Beach Marina

In lieu of bible study tonight, we all traveled to Long Beach to have dessert at Nicole's parents house and then to take a trip in the duffy boat to view the Christmas lights in the marina. Above are Gretchen and me.

The Detjen's home is my dream home! They decorated it so beautifully! The desserts were excellent, as was the company. Alice's friend, Mark, was visiting from Oregon and I was so glad that he stayed a little longer to join us! He is a funny guy!

The duffy ride was so much fun, and a lot less cold than we thought it would be. We were all decked out in our winter garb, too! We passed several gondolas along the ride which was fun to see.
Earlier I met up with Dyanelle (pictured below) for a little catch up session! :) She is a cool cat (
"cool cat" is probably something she would say!) :)
