We started off our summer vacation driving for two full days to make it to California in time for Brent's Grandpa's funeral. We were expecting to drive to Colorado to see him before he passed away but we were just a few days too late. Brent was pretty bummed that we didn't get to see him, but we are so glad we were able to make it in time for the funeral. It was a wonderful weekend spent with Brent's family reminiscing and telling stories about Grandpa Gill. The service was beautiful. Grandpa Gill will be missed down here for a while, but one day I know we will get to see him again.
Grandpa Gill chose to be cremated. His ashes were sent off into the Ocean by his children. Very fitting as he will always be associated with the beach in our minds. All of the Grandchildren and great grandchildren were able to watch from the jetty just outside his beach home and throw flowers into the water. It was a beautiful moment.

Although we didn't get in the water while we were there, Brinley Absolutely loved playing in the sand. She even tried tasting it a few times.Here are some pictures from the trip!
