Orr Family Reunion, California

Part of our Orr family gathered for a mini "reunion" of sorts in southern California this August. It was great to have everyone together, including Amanda and I, brother Geoff and sister-in-law Mavis (and her brother Brian and sister Karen) who flew in from Washington, my parents Russ and Kristen from Nevada, and of course Grandma Orr, aunt Barbara and uncle Mark in California. The weather was also a good 20 - 30 degrees cooler than Phoenix, and the coast beautiful as always.

An iridescent green "June bug" that terrorized the other passengers aboard our San Diego Bay ferry to Coronado Island. He was actually quite friendly.


The seared Hawaiian tuna stack appetizer at C Level restaurant--amazing! It was topped with papaya-mango salsa, and garnished with banana and taro chips.
