Cali Visit in a nutshell




We just returned from a fantastic trip to visit the fam in California! It was packed full of fun and unforgettable memories...as you can see, Kate jumped right in (literally)!




We re-celebrated Kate's 1st birthday, complete with balloons, cupcakes, presents and lots of delighted squeals!



Michael spent his 29th birthday there...I took him shopping. I know, I know. That sounds very selfish, but we found some great deals and he added quite a collection to his wardrobe (most of it can be used for golfing as well, so he was thrilled! We had a marvelous time together, just the two of us! FYI: those bags are filled with his clothes, he didn't want to pose for the pic.

Mini photo shoot in the gardens...what a darlin'!









Lunch with Mom and Lauren at Pampelmouse Grille, a country French restaurant. Part of my meal was a trio of soup served in perfect portion sized espresso cups




Park playtime in Del Mar with Papa T and Mama Lynn


Picking fresh blueberries and grapefruit with Papa in the "Garden of Gethsemane" after donning an adorable hat provided by Mama Lynn





And oh, we mustn't forget Kate's first ride in the Lambo
