We LOVE San Diego!

I think San Diego is my favorite city. The weather is great, it is beautiful, there are so many fun, fun things to do there, the list goes on! Ez had to head there last week for work, so the rest of the family decided to tag along and make a family vacation out of it!

We stopped in to stay with my Aunt Merrill and her husband, Burgess. They were fantastic hosts--we ate well and played hard the entire time! Merrill and Burgess are in the midst of adding on to and remodelling their home, so David got the chance to help Burgess with some of the building, which was simply heavenly to David. Merrill has a fantastic garden in the back yard, so Alexis and Lily got to help water and tend the garden, pick green beans, dig up old tomato plants, plant some pumpkin and sunflowers, pick tomatoes, all that fun stuff! Ez and I stayed busy trying to keep Joe and Evie from getting into things that were off limits!


Yummy carrot!

Isn't this tomato so cute and tiny?

Sounds like the trip went exceptionally well. I hear those who stayed in the hotel for the class didn't fare as well. We will hook up next year if the do it again in the same place.
