Highlights from the weekend include a wonderful day in La Jolla, fantastic dinners with Susan and Jim, a couple of "big nights out" while they babysat Spencer, a great hike / sunset on the beach at Torrey Pines, hanging out in Laguna Beach with our friends Jon and Alison, checking in with great-grandma Pinky in Rancho Bernardo, and seeing Spencer roll over the for the first time with his cousins 'Bella and 'Enzo at Grandpa Fran's place.
Brunch at Cody's, an outdoor cafe by the cove in La Jolla, near where we were supposed to stay with Jesse and Eileen. We found someone else to rent the cute cottage we'd found and stayed with Susan instead.
The minivan we'd rented still came in handy-- here we are with Susan and Jim on our way to take a hike at Torrey Pines State Park
We hiked the cliffs of Torrey Pines, saw migrating whales and dolphins off shore, and watched the sunset from the beach. Not a bad way to spend the day, huh Spencer? This guy is going to grow up to be a California kid for sure...
We spent a great day in Laguna Beach with our friends Jon and Alison, down from LA. We had burgers at a cafe overlooking the boardwalk and then walked along the beach, looking at the tidepools. The most exciting part was how the minutes kept ticking down on Jon's parking meter... it was just like the real-time TV show "24", but with meter maids instead of terrorists!
It was also neat to stop by and say hello to Great Grandma Pinky in Rancho Bernardo. Spencer's changed just a little since you saw him last, hasn't he Pinky?
We spent our last night hanging out with cousins 'Enzo and 'Bella at Grandpa Fran's place... hanging out with his two active cousins finally inspired Spencer to roll over for the very first time! Click here to see the video...
What a trip... hard to beleive that all of this came together at the last minute. And Jesse and Eileen... this was just a warm-up for the REAL trip sometime down the line!
