Avalon in the winter - WOW!  Just beautiful.  Our family was there just for the day, but what a day.  The sun was out and rather warm for December.  It was very nice.  I love Catalina in the summer it is just a little slice of heaven on earth, but I have to admit it was pretty perfect in December too. I haven't posted in awhile due to a family tragedy, but I intend to be regularly posting about wonderful places in California.

This photo is a picture of Avalon Harbor, green pier and swim float.  I thought it would be fitting to start my first blog with a picture of water, a beach, a pier,  and palm trees all on a romantic island. I have been lucky enough to go to Avalon every summer since I was 5 years old.  I met my husband in Avalon.  So, first blog picture is of Avalon, Catalina Island. Catalina, is an island off the coast of Southern California, about 27 miles from the mainland. This photo shows the bay from the walk up to the bell tower.  You can see private boats moored with the owners enjoying summer.  I've been told that Avalon resembles the mediterranean seaside towns.  After traveling to the Italian coast last year for the first time, I completely agree. So, this is my first post.
