Father's Day

We had a fun weekend for Father's day. We stayed local and just hung out around town. Saturday was pretty gloomy but nice enough to go downtown and hang at the park. We got yummy Nonna's sandos and Gavin had fun playing on the playground. We got Gavin down at a decent time and we watched Gran Torino.

Sunday we started the morning with bagels in bed for Steve. I packed up a yummy picnic and we tried out a new hike up on the Grade. Can't say we will do that hike again but at least we tried it. It was along the freeway up in the hills. It was sunny and kinda hot but with some wind. It was a serious incline most of the way up. Gavin was a trooper for most of it but then wanted to be carried the second half.

The afternoon was lazy as Gavin took a nap then we got sucked into Fried Food Paradise on the Food Network. I had a meal of risotto and salad planned and we nixed that for a delicious treat at Longboards in Pismo consisting of fried zucchini, fried mushrooms and burgers. We got turkey burgers but we should have splurged for the real meat. Oh well. It was tasty but we felt kind crappy afterwards. It was worth it when Steve said... now that is a Father's Day dinner. Score!

Gavin and Steve packed up the car on Monday and headed up to Pine Mountain Lake. They are going to go up to Yosemite and play for a couple days. Gavin is very excited to see Papa at the lake. Fun for them! I am back home working. I will either me really productive or soak up the quiet.

Getting ready for Summer

We are gearing up for Summer break. The weather is kinda funky right now but still nice enough to hang outside and go to the beach.

Saturday we got to hang out with Springer. He was in town for a guy's golfing weekend. We went to Luisa's for breakfast and it was better than I remembered. The streets were packed with Grads and parentals because it was Graduation. There were many drunks in the streets at 9am. Kinda funny to see. Luisa's was packed. We waited 40 minutes oddly enough to get a table. Gavin just played outside until we got in. He did well while we ate. Luckily it was really loud in there and plenty of jam packets and creamer tubs for him to play with. I had an awesome Huevos Rancheros! Definitely will go back there. If was fun to catch up with Springer too.

We got in some good park play at Meadow park then came home and had a family crash on the sofa. Saturday night we got a sitter and went to a wine tasting party. We tasted Cabs. Tolosa 2006 won as the best Cab. Good food too.

Sunday we headed out to Cambria/Moonstone beach. We had fun playing around in the sand and taking pictures and walking along the boardwalk. Steve got to watch some surfers since the waves were breaking. He was bummed he didn't bring his board. Gavin loves to dig and play with sand.

Gavin tells us he loves us all the time now. It is very cute. He also says to "leave me alone" a lot as well when he doesn't get what he wants. Not as cute. Definitely a 3 yr old.

A good weekend in SLO

We have been traveling for the past few weekends but this weekend we got to stay in SLO. We hit up Farmers Market on Thursday and that always kicks off the weekend in a good way. Laid low Friday night and went to Morro Bay on Saturday.

We hiked up Black hill and saw an awesome view of Los Osos, Morro Rock and Cayucos. 360 degree view. Great little hike for Gavin. We had lunch at our favorite dive mexican joint, Tus Amigos, then took a little pit stop on the beach by Morro Rock. Laid low on Saturday night too.

Sunday we headed to the beach with some friends. It was a great sunny day. Not too hot, not too cold. Gavin had fun playing in the sand. Now it is time for the Lakers!
