Either way you look at it, I had Mommy time this weekend. My parents were vacationing in Carlsbad, California this past week. I was invited down to spend Friday overnight with them at a nice condo.
They had purchased a new Ford Escape Hybrid (which I delivered the checkbook for) and needed to pick it up. Then we went to dinner at a great place called "Karl Strauss". Ed broke the Escape in by driving it home. Mom and I went back to watch the Truman Show and to play Canasta. On Saturday, we took a long walk down to the beach (seems like 200 stairs) and then through a field of flowers. If that wasn't enough exercise, we walked and shopped Costco. Filled up on all the samples and waited behind 8 cars for gas (yes it looked like a shortage line). Then we spent hours shopping at the outlet stores. Legs were really tired by now! Finding the car in the sea of cars is a whole other story.
A friend of mine that I used to work with, Sarabeth (now living in Carlsbad), offered to cook us dinner. She and her boyfriend Tim treated us to great company and food. I am so lucky to have had such great people touch my life through the years. Sarabeth was The Princess at Sage's 5th birthday party (in case you were there). She is the biggest sweetheart and always giving of her time. See the photos above from 2006.
Since Mom and I had sore legs from all the walking, we took a quick dip in the jacuzzi. That was relaxing! Quickly showered, packed up and left.
