California: Day's 1, 2 & 3

How time flies when your having fun! We have just returned from our much too short trip down to California. We packed in quite a lot, so for my reader's sake I have broken down our trip into a few shorter segments.


Days 1, 2 & 3: Tractors and Weddings

We arrived Friday evening, and after a stop in Old Town for some yummy Mexican food we headed to Grandpa's house to play the drums. He had been demanding this for several days prior, even once refusing to leave the car and telling Dan to drive him to Grandpa's house to play the drums. That boy sure loves to bang on those drums! He is a natural.


Saturday morning we headed to the Vista Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum to check out the tractors. Quincy was in hog heaven. They also were having a Civil War Re-enactment that weekend which was amusing, everyone all dressed up and playing the part.



That afternoon, my dear friend from High School Erin McWhirter became Mrs. Harold Horn. It was a beautiful wedding, held at the Quail Botanical Gardens in Encinitas. I had never been there before, and it was quite a lovely place for a wedding ceremony. I was able to see so many people I hadn't seen in so long. It was good, and what made it even better was than my dear mother took Quincy home after the ceremony so that Dan and I could not only enjoy the reception baby-free... but also so that we could stay in the Gaslamp District of San Diego overnight. It was good fun, and I am always amazed to see how many people roam around the streets even on a cool March night.



We leisurely woke up Sunday morning and took a slow drive back up to Vista. Quincy hardly even noticed our return Sunday afternoon, he was far too involved in playing Basketball with his uncles. Between the drums and basketball, I am surprised we had time for anything else! At least his loves are well balanced... music, sports, automobiles.
