Touring LA

Grandma Elizabeth and Aunt Nancy drove south to LA today. They toured the sights and managed not to get arrested, though Nancy made several illegal u-turns and went on private property in Malibu. We were very happy to see them back in one piece.




They also visited Rodeo Drive!

And honked for the writers striking!

Before returning to Santa Barbara for lunch on the beach...

Beatrice welcomed them back with clanging pot tops.


Beatrice will certainly miss them tomorrow!

Super Bowl Sunday

Believe it or not, we watched the Super Bowl. Well, Beatrice watched 2-3 minutes of the first quarter. She mostly enjoyed the process of watching it.


And the guac.

We had another good day, even with the rain.

Beatrice enjoyed her ladybug outfit today. But this morning she started the day with her new "Cold Chillin" t-shirt. Uncle Graham will be soooooo jealous.

Touring SB

After dropping off Daddy at the airport (he's off to Vegas for "work" for the weekend) - we headed over the hills to have lunch at Cold Spring Tavern.

We had a nice lunch, and afterwards we went on a driving tour (again) of SB, stopping this time at the Pier.

Late afternoon we rested (and got Grandma Elizabeth to pick oranges out back), before Sarah B came over to babysit Beatrice so we could go out for dinner.


The morning was fun too - with Beatrice helping Grandma Elizabeth and Aunt Nancy settle in.

They're Here!

Beatrice's adoring audience is here! Great Aunt Nancy and Grandma Elizabeth arrived into Santa Barbara last night. We spent the full day showing them around. Beatrice particularly enjoyed the nearly constant attention (she pushed for it, when it wasn't readily forthcoming).

In our tour (and dropping off and picking up the Honda for servicing) we managed to do 2-3 loops of Santa Barbara. Luckily it was a beautiful day.


We even showed them the best carport EVER:

And Beatrice talked them into taking her to see the chickens and turkeys around the corner in the afternoon.

End of day was typically wild - with Beatrice trying on her new clothes from Grandma. A bathing suit.

And giving Grandma Elizabeth some kissy-kissies. At least Bea's finally learned to keep her mouth closed!

Looking forward to tomorrow!
