Fourth August Challenges

Hello everybody!
Welcome to another week of my combined challenges.  
Up first for inspiration is Brenshevia's fun sketch over at Let's Get Sketchy!  
The next challenge is "Summer Nights" Photo Inspiration over at Lasting Memories 
and last but not least is Simon Says: Go Fish challenge!
In July of 2001 my family and I went on a carefree summer vacation to California! (Just before 911) 
We traveled to San Diego and all the way up the Coast to the Redwood Forest.  California has all kinds of weather and areas.   
The Pacific Ocean, beaches, lakes, deserts, mountains and of course, Disneyland!  We saw it all!  What an amazing State!   
The photos on my layout are of Ashley, my daughter, in a blowup boat on the Pacific Ocean where there  were seal lions swimming all around!  What fun we had with that boat! 
 (I think it was the best thing we brought in California. )

Go Fish

Fun Summer by Lisa

Background paper is Kaisercraft "Redwood" Base Coat Collection

Here are some close-ups

For embellishments I used a shell, twine, and scrabble word titles!
