This weekend my Aunt Sue came to visit from Colorado. Technically she came to see my mom who lives part time in southland, but this exemplifies another bonus to having my mom here: Aaron and I reap the benefits of visitors coming through town. Aaron finished watching the UCLA football team beat Cal - Go Bruins! - and then we headed out for some Santa Monica culture in the form of a walk along the cliffs and the homeless, then back through the shopping and the street performers on the Third Street Promenade. The weather was perfect and we covered a little more than 2 1/2 miles. Worked up an appetite for dinner at Gyu-Kaku, a Japanese BBQ favorite where you cook
your own food at your table. We introduced the 'older generation' with us to Pinkberry for dessert and then headed back to our place so my mom could open her birthday present from us (a couple of Newberry Award winning books to add to her collection).

What are you and Aunt Sue talking about? The conversation looks very interesting and wish there were captions.
Who knew this would be the only day of the week it would be pleasant outside? Sure enjoyed the walk, the dinner, and am tickled to add the hardbound copies of the Newbery collection to the shelf for reading to the next generation! :)
