San Diego and Los Angeles

I can't believe I forgot my camera:-( For some reason, as we were leaving, I grabbed a number of items including my camera case, but no camera. We bought a throw-away camera so we hope to have some pictures when we return.

So far the trip has been interesting. I'm learning what it is like to travel with a 2 month old. All things considering, it has gone pretty well. We have enjoyed our stay with my grandmother at her community, La Vida Real, and have found all of my grandmother's friends to be very endearing. Natalie has become the star of the show at our meals in the dining room. My grandmother is only too happy to show off her 'great granddaughter from Pennyslvania'. It is great to see her so happy.

We did take a day trip today to see our family in LA. We met them in Irvine and have settled in at a local Residence Inn. I've managed so far to wrestle and lose to a leaky sink in our room and have found ways to try to pawn off Natalie's rather odorous diapers by attempting to secretly dump them in my brother's room. Natalie has managed to completely 'soil' her car seat for the third time this week (I had no idea that there was such a high 'rate of return' on digested baby formula:-) We did enjoy a nice dinner and the crowd is now planning to make an ice cream run to a local ice cream parlor. Like I said...all in all, not too bad.

Hope to have pictures soon!
