Family News

Bri and David and Maddox came to visit last weekend.  The flew in from SeaTac late Friday and Mack picked them up and made them comfortable at his house.  In the morning he drove them to La Costa Glen where we had lunch and a tour of the campus.  Then we piled into the Porsche and drove to the Scripps Aquarium.  After that we drove to the nearby Bataquitos Lagoon, a reclaimed junk pond that is now cleaned by the ocean tides and has become a nature preserve.  We walked a little way on the path, but unfortunately the museum had closed.  

We ate dinner at Casa de Bandini, and Maddox behaved beautifully.  Its a busy place and he loves to watch people.  Then Mack drove them home in his car.   

Since we can't all fit in his car, I was wondering how we would get to our breakfast rendezvous at The Broken Yolk, a bit far to walk with a baby.  Mack had it all figured out however, and we went in two cars!   He makes everything so smooth.

We did not get to do the famous brunch this time, but there is always next visit.  Before it was time to leave for the plane we returned the Porsche to its garage, and took Maddox to see the waterfall and koi pond and its two giant turtles.  He had a glorious run along the path, stopping to slap the bushes along the way.  He does not walk, he runs!  Weighs 30 lbs.  Has a reddish cast to his hair. So much fun to have a great grandson.
 

We had a lovely weekend, but Monday is back to school for Bri and David, and work for Mack.  And I will have to get back to Sandon Studio blogs, which Wendy is helping me research.
