One of the best parts of a vacation in Southern California is that we drive right past so many of our favorite people on the way there and back. We tacked extra days onto our vacation schedule and really treasured the time we got to spend with these dear friends.
On our drive down to Disneyland, we met Anna in LA for dinner. She picked out a cool restaurant called Fred 62, where we tried to blend in with the hipsters while enjoying delicious food and good conversation. This visit was short, but kicked off our vacation with some smiles.
We were so blessed to have a stop over at Phil and Teri's house on our way home. We actually planned this one to be an overnight so we could spend more time with them. After several exhausting days in the parks and probably over 20 miles walked, we basked in their hospitality! I'll forever remember the Disneyland vacation concluding with long conversations while sitting in the sun on their patio furniture and Phil's amazing grilled tri-tip for dinner and monkey bread for breakfast. As always, the kids played together wonderfully. It was so good to just be still for a while and let our good friends spoil us!
Our last stop was another quick, but lovely, one. Dorina and Ericlee move out of their house and to Haiti in just a few days. We had a couple hours to sit down with them and share the good food and conversation that we always find in their company. Granted, the kids were very worn out and tired of saying goodbye to good things at this point, but they love Meilani and Giada, so there was some serious wailing as we drove away.
We love you, Anna, Teri and Dorina! All the love and good food and conversation you showed us made an already awesome vacation that much better!
