This is the 3rd year we have had a 3 generation family reunion in So Cal. Beyond Beth's beautifully private backyard, newly renovated kitchen remodel (in progress during our stay), Beth and Matt where excellent hosts, communications where speedy and any small issues that came up were addressed immediately. This was a perfect venue for the Hanson family especially given my fathers musical talents - and Given the advanced musical talent of the entire Rohdes family - their home was complete with wonderful musical instruments which proved an excellent way to end our day after hanging out in the pool and bbqing. We'd casually work our way through their various musical instruments which included their wonderful Yamaha C7 concert grand - which we wanted to pack it up and take it home with us. We even got an invite to see Beth's extremely talented students and their son play at the historic Lighthouse for an afternoon of Jazz. Their location in Palos Verdes, makes it extremely easy to get to the beaches of Rodando, Hermosa and Manhattan as well as the Palos Verdes, sweeping vistas of the nature reserves, convenient shopping for groceries and large malls near by. We look forward to staying again at the Rohdes and enjoy their kitchen remodel completion!
